Put the backlog's own rules to the backlog — seeds that should no longer be there, pairs that are one discovery, seeds that outgrew a line, and the order nobody has stated. Judged one at a time, landed only by the user's call.

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

# Triage

`.genius/BACKLOG.md` is read whole on every `/genius`, and grows by how many discoveries the flow made. The rules bounding it are written already — the seed's shape and where a line goes when it leaves ([BACKLOG-FORMAT.md](../genius-file/BACKLOG-FORMAT.md)), why it stops at 300 characters (`record-prose`) — each firing in its own moment, with nothing going back to check. `/reconcile` reaches the file from the repo's side. What no pass asks is what the flow's own records, and the user, say about these lines.

The concept: **the rules exist; this is the pass that enforces them, one line at a time, and the user rules on each.**

## When to run it

The user types it — after a stretch of slices that each dropped one, when `/genius` shows a backlog nobody can scan, or when a work's leftovers land. Not on a schedule: a pass sent looking finds something, and a seed argued away on a made-up reason is worse than a long file. With an argument, only the line whose subject it names, and only the two questions one line can answer — should it be here, has it outgrown a line; pairing needs candidates and order needs the file, so say those went unasked.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/triage@sha256:17fbcf5cdc85a292

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.51d9739, 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.
