plan-backlog SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
plan-backlog from theam/claude-dev-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Turn an idea or description (in any format) into a well-formed backlog — epics, user stories with acceptance criteria, sub-tasks — and create it in the team's tracker after approval. Elaborates progressively (guided, the default) or in one shot (`--quick`). Supports Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, and Azure DevOps via adapters. Use when a product owner wants to draft or create tickets from an idea, brief, or document.
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
# Plan Backlog
Turn a product idea into a structured, well-formed backlog in the team's tracker — the **upstream** half of the issue-to-PR workflow, for the product-owner persona. It closes the loop **idea → backlog → ticket → PR** (created stories feed straight into `work-story`).
This is the *write* counterpart to `issue-fetch` (which reads). **Nothing is created until you approve the draft.** You **facilitate** the PO's thinking — offer options and ask for decisions; never decide the product for them.
## Trigger
A request to turn an idea / brief / description / document into tickets, epics, or a backlog — e.g. *"draft stories for this feature"*, *"create Jira tickets from this doc"*, *"break this initiative into a backlog"*.
## Project configuration
Read `.claude/dev-kit.json` at the consuming repo root. The `tracker` block names the active adapter and its settings:
```json
{ "tracker": { "type": "jira" | "linear" | "github" | "azure", ... } }
```
**If the file does not exist (or has no `tracker` block), run `dev-kit-setup` first** — it detects the tracker and persists the config, then returns here. Don't ask for values setup can discover.

How to install
mdr add theam/claude-dev-kit/plan-backlog@sha256:bd647b5680a27c27The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.0ce8337, 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.
