Seed a backlog from the project's documents: the Product Owner reads docs/ (plus the constitution and ROADMAP.md), proposes an ordered list of feature-sized items each traced to a source section, the user edits the list, and on explicit confirmation each item is filed as a GitHub issue that /story-time <n> can import. Use on a new or document-first repo with no backlog, or when a tracker or runner needs proposed work as issues.

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 — Seed a Backlog from docs/ (Product Owner)

An **advisory-then-writing** ceremony with one gate. The Product Owner proposes
an ordered backlog from the project's own documents; the user edits it; only on
explicit confirmation are issues created. Nothing is written to `.spark/`, and
no spec is created here: specs belong to `/story-time`.

## Input

Optional: `--label <name>` (repeatable) or a steer such as "only the MVP". No
other input is needed.

## Steps

1. **Gather the sources yourself.** The `product-owner` agent cannot read the
   repo's remote or run `gh`. Read:
   - `docs/` (Markdown/text documents only; read each section's heading and
     lead paragraph, not full bodies, and note file names and headings, as
     source references need them. Skip binary or non-text files and name what
     was skipped in the step 9 report),
   - `.spark/constitution.md` and `ROADMAP.md` if present.
   - **If there is no `docs/` (or it holds no readable documents) and no
     constitution**, name `/charter` as the first step and stop there. Never
     invoke it yourself, and write nothing. Same rule as `/next-steps`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a-lottes/aspark/backlog@sha256:aea67b3ca1a1c4fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.36cf3fb, 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.
