What it does

Dough Product Backlog is an agent skill from terryyin/lizard. Maintains and reprioritizes a product backlog list of canonical story or bounded-correction references, and records necessary blocking story dependencies in canonical homes. Use to add, take, reorder, or complete backlog items, adopt or repair the done catalog beside them, record or inspect a justified prerequisite, or resolve product backlog merge conflicts. Excludes classroom and workshop exercise backlogs.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 67 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/claude-hooks-guard.json`, `assets/codex-hooks-guard.json` and `assets/cursor-hooks-guard.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. The repository describes itself as: A simple code complexity analyser without caring about the C/C++ header files or Java imports, supports most of the popular languages.

When your agent uses it

  • Complete backlog items
  • Repair the done catalog beside them
  • Inspect a justified prerequisite
  • Resolve product backlog merge conflicts

Example prompts

  • “Use the dough-product-backlog skill to maintain and reprioritizes a product backlog list of canonical story or bounded-correction references, and…”
  • “/dough-product-backlog”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4b57b3b. 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

    Ships 10 files in scripts/ (JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    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

Dough Product Backlog loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,877 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,877 words (~3,487 tokens).
