Builds a backlog recovery plan for a support queue, with triage by age and risk, a bulk-reply and merge plan, a pause list and a daily burn-down. Use for "run cs-backlog-recovery-plan", "our ticket backlog keeps growing", "how to reduce ticket backlog", "clear the support queue", "backlog burn-down", "the oldest tickets are the angriest", "merge duplicate tickets", part of the AI for Customer Service Pack by 90n.

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

# Backlog Recovery Plan

## When To Use
The queue grows every day and the oldest tickets are the angriest. Customers chase the same ticket three times, each chase lands as a new ticket, and the team spends the morning on whatever arrived last. This answers: how long will the backlog take to clear, what goes first, and what stops until it does?

## When Not To Use
If the backlog clears within a normal week, a triage pass by age is enough. If arrivals are above what the team can ever close, the fix is capacity: run the Erlang C Staffing Plan, because no triage grid shrinks a queue that grows faster than it closes.

## Inputs
- A ticket export with created date, status, channel, tags or category and customer, for open tickets.
- Daily arrivals and daily closes for recent weeks.
- The internal work the team does besides the queue: projects, reviews, meetings.
If you have none of this, I start from the open count, the oldest age and a rough daily arrival figure and mark the output as a first draft.

## Approach

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add polar-bear-org/claude-skills/cs-backlog-recovery-plan@sha256:75b25da5a972973e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.a2f0899, 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.
