backlog SKILL.md skillA

backlog from umputun/cc-thingz is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add umputun/cc-thingz/backlog@git:20260823.b8f4a23

Pins git:20260823.b8f4a23 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read, work, and maintain a Git repo's deferred-work items in docs/backlog/, one file per item. Use when the user says "backlog", "check backlog", "what's on my backlog", "work the backlog", "address the backlog", "add to backlog", "clean up backlog", or when a review or task produced items that are real but not being fixed now. Owns the item format and the create-then-delete lifecycle.

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

`docs/backlog/` at a repo root holds work that is real but not being done now: a defect a change did not
introduce, drift with no user-visible symptom, a fix whose blast radius exceeded its value, an idea worth
keeping. One file per item. It is the maintainer's own list — it never gates anything and never reaches a
contributor.

The directory path is fixed, so every invocation in a repo reads and writes one predictable store.

**Git only.** The lifecycle is expressed in Git — `git rm` to close an item, branch detection before
writing, staging and committing the file. Outside a Git repository, say so plainly and stop; do not
improvise an equivalent in another VCS.

## Item format

`docs/backlog/<slug>.md`. The slug names the defect, not the file it lives in
(`reopen-fallback-ignores-frontmost.md`), so it can be cited from a commit and dedupe is a filename check.

# reopen fallback ignores the last-frontmost window

`reopen`'s fallback ignores which window was last frontmost once `frontmost` is nil, so a multi-window

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add umputun/cc-thingz/backlog@sha256:40904cfa5690c70e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.b8f4a23, 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.
