02 Backlog

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to ask what it holds
• Lifecycle events

Example prompts

• “Use the 02-backlog skill to orchestrate a product backlog end to end. An agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework”
• “/02-backlog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid and bash).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

02 Backlog loads about 613 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~58

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~613

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Orchestrates a product backlog end to end. Use when the user wants to ask what it holds, or to run intake, triage, refinement, review, lifecycle events, ordering, health checks, or repair. Not for one known artifact step.
