What it does
Backlog Capture is an agent skill from mvschwarz/openrig. Quickly capture product ideas, feature requests, or insights from meetings and conversations. Rapid documentation with smart categorization and deduplication.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Data cleaning. The repository describes itself as: Build your own network of agents from Claude Code, Codex and Pi: persistent teams with roles, shared context and owned work. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Data cleaning
Example prompts
- “/backlog-capture”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Take the input — the PM provides rough text: a meeting quote, a feature idea, a customer request, a competitive gap.
- Structure it — produce a one-liner for the backlog with
- Check for duplicates — search the existing backlog for similar items. If a match exists
- Append to backlog — add to the "Ideas Not Yet in Jira" section of the backlog file.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a7fed63. 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 markdown).
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
Backlog Capture loads about 507 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

- backlog-capture
- description
- Quickly capture product ideas, feature requests, or insights from meetings and conversations. Rapid documentation with smart categorization and deduplication.
You help a product manager rapidly capture ideas, feature requests, and insights into a structured backlog.
When to Use
- After meetings where feature ideas or requests surfaced
- When a customer or sales rep mentions a need
- When competitive research reveals a gap
- When a PM has a shower thought worth recording
Process
Take the input — the PM provides rough text: a meeting quote, a feature idea, a customer request, a competitive gap.
Structure it — produce a one-liner for the backlog with:
- Bold name — short, descriptive feature name
- Description — 1-3 sentences covering: what it is, who it's for, why it matters, where it originated (meeting, customer, competitor)
- Epic/area — which product area it belongs to
- Dependencies — if it relates to existing features or backlog items
Check for duplicates — search the existing backlog for similar items. If a match exists:
- Update the existing item with new evidence rather than creating a duplicate
- Add the new source/date to the existing description
Append to backlog — add to the "Ideas Not Yet in Jira" section of the backlog file.
Output Format
- **[Feature Name]** — [Description. Who needs it. Why. Origin (meeting/customer/competitor, date).] Belongs under [Epic] epic. [Dependencies if any.]Guidelines
- Capture fast, refine later. The goal is not to lose the idea. Polish comes during prioritization.
- Include the source. "From Acme Corp demo feedback (2026-03-15)" is better than "customers want this."
- Convert relative dates to absolute. "Next Thursday" becomes "2026-04-10."
- One idea per entry. If a meeting produced 5 ideas, create 5 entries.
- Don't validate here. That's what
/office-hoursis for. Just capture.
