Designs a Product Backlog using the Product Backlog Building (PBB) methodology from an initial product or feature scope.
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.

<execution_mode>
## Mode Detection — Resolve Before Anything Else
```text
IF invoked by autonomous-orchestrator or an explicit autonomous runtime context:
mode = AUTONOMOUS
Skip all interactive prompts.
For each decision-relevant gap:
Generate a suggested answer and rationale.
Use the suggested answer as the resolved answer.
Set answered_by = "model".
Mark the answer as a provisional model assumption.
Continue through backlog generation without pausing.
OTHERWISE:
mode = INTERACTIVE
For each decision-relevant gap:
Ask one question at a time.
Show the suggested answer and rationale.
Let the human accept, replace, defer, or mark the answer unknown.
Preserve the human answer exactly.
Set answered_by = "human" for accepted or replaced answers.
Do not finalize the backlog until all questions are answered, deferred, or
marked unknown.
```
In both modes, apply resolved answers to affected problems, expectations,
personas, functionalities, and PBIs before final validation. Never present an
autonomous answer as a confirmed business fact.

How to install
mdr add romabeckman/harness-kit/pbb-design@sha256:bfdea3f861e476bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.5fe8074, 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.
