Overview

Backlog is a skill for development workflow management, specifically designed for tools like Claude AI. It helps manage backlog items – ideas not yet ready for active planning – by allowing users to add, review, promote, or remove them. The command /pbr:backlog provides a range of functionalities, including creating new backlog items, reviewing existing ones, and promoting items to active phases. It's intended for developers who need to prioritize and manage their project ideas in a structured way, providing a clear separation between ideas and active planning. However, it's essential to use it according to the recommended anti-patterns to prevent misusing the backlog feature.

Q&A

Are there limitations for using Backlog in complex projects?

Backlog focuses on phase-level ideas; it lacks advanced project‑management features and requires manual decisions for promoting items, so it may not suit highly complex workflows that need automated task tracking.

Asked by Celeste Marchetti · Feb 4, 2026

What happens if I want to remove a backlog item?

During a review, the tool asks if you want to remove an item. Choosing remove deletes the corresponding 999.x directory and its contents.

Asked by Ulrik Madsen · Jan 17, 2026

How do I add a new backlog item with Backlog?

Use the command "/pbr:backlog add <description>". It will create a new folder under .planning/phases/ with a 999.x number, generate a slug from the description, and write a minimal PLAN.md containing the objective.

Asked by Amara Chukwu · Nov 3, 2025

Can I promote a backlog item directly to an active phase?

Yes, run "/pbr:backlog promote <N>" where <N> is the backlog item number. The tool will rename the 999.x directory to the next available active phase number, update ROADMAP.md, and move it out of the backlog.
