# Backlog.md Workflow Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Expert guidance for managing projects with Backlog.md - a markdown-native task manager with MCP support.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Tasks
|
||||
- Stored as markdown files in `backlog/tasks/`
|
||||
- Named pattern: `task-<id> - <title>.md`
|
||||
- Support: status, priority, labels, assignees, acceptance criteria, notes, plans, dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Epics (Parent-Child)
|
||||
- Parent tasks group related work
|
||||
- Create subtasks with `-p <parent-id>`
|
||||
- Track epic progress via subtask completion
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
- Tasks can depend on other tasks
|
||||
- Prevents starting blocked work
|
||||
- Creates execution sequences
|
||||
- Validated for circular references
|
||||
|
||||
### Statuses
|
||||
- "To Do": Not started
|
||||
- "In Progress": Currently being worked on
|
||||
- "Done": Completed
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### Task Operations
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
backlog task create "Title" [options]
|
||||
backlog task edit <id> [options]
|
||||
backlog task <id> # View task
|
||||
backlog task list [filters] # List tasks
|
||||
backlog task archive <id> # Archive completed task
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Options
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
--desc, -d Description
|
||||
--status, -s Task status
|
||||
--priority high/medium/low
|
||||
--labels, -l Comma-separated labels
|
||||
--assignee, -a @username
|
||||
--ac Acceptance criteria (repeatable)
|
||||
--dep Dependencies (task-1,task-2)
|
||||
--plan Implementation plan
|
||||
--notes Implementation notes
|
||||
--append-notes Add to existing notes
|
||||
-p Parent task ID (for subtasks)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Board & Search
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
backlog board # Interactive Kanban board
|
||||
backlog board export # Export to markdown
|
||||
backlog search "query" # Fuzzy search tasks
|
||||
backlog overview # Project statistics
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
--ac "Criterion" # Add criterion
|
||||
--check-ac 1 # Mark #1 complete
|
||||
--uncheck-ac 2 # Mark #2 incomplete
|
||||
--remove-ac 3 # Remove criterion
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Starting New Work
|
||||
1. Search for existing tasks: `backlog search "<keywords>"`
|
||||
2. If exists, update status to "In Progress"
|
||||
3. If new, create task with full context
|
||||
4. Set dependencies if applicable
|
||||
|
||||
### During Work
|
||||
1. Add implementation notes as you learn
|
||||
2. Check acceptance criteria as completed
|
||||
3. Update status appropriately
|
||||
4. Create subtasks for discovered work
|
||||
|
||||
### Completing Work
|
||||
1. Verify all acceptance criteria are checked
|
||||
2. Add final implementation notes
|
||||
3. Move to "Done" status
|
||||
4. Archive if no longer needed
|
||||
|
||||
### Epic Planning
|
||||
1. Create parent task with epic overview
|
||||
2. Break into 5-10 focused subtasks
|
||||
3. Establish dependencies between subtasks
|
||||
4. Track progress via subtask completion
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-line Input (Bash/Zsh)
|
||||
|
||||
Use ANSI-C quoting for newlines:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
backlog task edit <id> --notes $'Line 1\nLine 2\n\nParagraph 2'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## MCP Integration
|
||||
|
||||
When MCP is available, use backlog tools directly:
|
||||
- `backlog.task_create` - Create tasks
|
||||
- `backlog.task_update` - Update tasks
|
||||
- `backlog.task_list` - List tasks
|
||||
- `backlog.acceptance_criteria_check` - Check criteria
|
||||
- `backlog.implementation_notes_append` - Add notes
|
||||
- `backlog.dependencies_add` - Add dependencies
