plan-to-backlog skillA

plan-to-backlog is agent-read markdown (skill) from flurdy/agent-skills: Materialize an approved cited plan into proportionate Beads tracking when the user asks for durable ownership. Recommends no item, one item, or a bounded epic; checks owners and duplicates; previews every write; applies only after exact confirmation..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Plan to Backlog

Proposal-first. May recommend no backlog change. Never writes without confirmation.

Turn an approved architecture or implementation plan into the smallest justified durable
Beads structure. Inspect the cited plan and existing work, decide whether no item, one
focused item, or a bounded epic is warranted, preview the exact write set, then apply only
that confirmed proposal.

The canonical behavior and thresholds are defined in the
[plan-to-backlog contract](references/contract.md).

## When to use

Select this skill dynamically, or through `/plan-to-backlog`, only when:

- an `/architect` or implementation plan has been explicitly approved;
- the plan has a stable source or exact capturable session text;
- the user explicitly asks to create or reconcile durable Beads ownership rather than
  continue planning; and
- no-item versus single-item versus epic is still a meaningful decision.

The existence or approval of a plan alone is not a trigger. Do not use this skill for raw
ideas or Jira intake (`/triage`), plan refinement (`/architect`), retrospective backlog
quality (`/backlog-groom`), or cross-system reconciliation (`/tracking-sweep` or
`/trello-beads`).
