Use when ready to attack the GitHub issue backlog with discipline. Scans open issues, bundles related work into an efficient execution plan, executes the bundle with verification, then closes issues + writes a retrospective that includes self-improvement notes for this skill. Trigger phrases — "execute backlog", "work the backlog", "knock down P1 issues", "ship a bundle", "/execute-backlog".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Execute Backlog **Purpose:** turn the GitHub issue backlog into shipped work using a deterministic loop: SCAN → BUNDLE → PLAN → EXECUTE → VERIFY → UPDATE → RETRO. Each pass closes a coherent bundle of issues, leaves the repo greener than it found it, and writes a retro that improves the skill itself. **Operating principle (Extreme Ownership):** every issue in the bundle is "owned" by the executing agent for the duration of the pass. No half-finished issues. No "punted" verification. If a bundle can't ship clean, the bundle gets descoped — not the verification. --- ## When to Use - Backlog has ≥5 open issues with `priority:p1` or higher - A sprint / release-gate moment: pick the next high-impact bundle - User says "let's work the backlog", "execute audit-2026-05-21", "knock down the killswitch issues" - Agentic team handoff: spawn one of these per worker, each owning a label-scoped bundle **Don't use for:** - One-off bug fixes (use `agent-tdd` directly) - Backlog audit / re-prioritization (use `architecture-audit`) - New feature work (use `reactive-feature-dev`) --- ## Inputs (declared by caller) The skill MUST be invoked with at least one filter — never run unfiltered. …

How to install
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/execute-backlog@sha256:cffc4ba7b02c7070The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.924c160, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
