Delegate an approved backlog to a real async coding agent (GitHub Copilot coding agent) so several stories are worked in parallel — one branch and PR per issue — then re-apply the kit's quality via pr-review/fix-pr on the resulting PRs. The async, throughput-first alternative to running work-story interactively per story. Verifies the async target exists (never fabricates a trigger) and never auto-merges. Use when a PO/dev wants to fan a backlog out to an async agent.

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

# Delegate Backlog

Fan an **already-approved** backlog out to a **real async coding agent** so several stories are built in parallel — one branch, one PR per issue — and then re-apply the kit's quality on the PRs that come back. This is the **async, throughput-first alternative** to `work-story` (which works one story at a time, interactively, in your session).

> **Experimental (v1).** GitHub + Copilot coding agent only, and it leans on a young GitHub surface (§3–§4) — verify the mechanism is current and expect it to change.

**Be honest about the trade-off.** On the delegated path the kit's **in-session gates do not run** — the plan-approval gate, coverage/security/e2e, and stack conventions are *your* session's guarantees; an external agent runs its own loop. What the kit re-adds is at the **end**: `pr-review` / `fix-pr` on each resulting PR. So `delegate-backlog` **trades the kit's gates for throughput, and buys the quality back on review.** Say this to the user; never present a delegated PR as if the kit's gates produced it.

## When to use vs. `work-story`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add theam/claude-dev-kit/delegate-backlog@sha256:83a5df06928e8980

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.bca2bd5, 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.
