backlog-status-report

backlog-status-report is a skill for Claude Code from adam-s-k-i/super-backlog. It costs 47 tokens per session (298 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only report of the current project status based on Backlog.md, a text-based task and planning system. It summarizes task counts, active work, milestones, and relevant blocked or stale items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need a progress report, project overview, or orientation before or after a work session. It shows work by status, open criteria for active tasks, and milestone completion.
Why use it?
Project status can become inaccurate when it is reconstructed from memory or scattered notes. The report reads the current backlog data and points to dashboards for more detail.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

backlog-status-report scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Backlog Status Report: project state at a glance

Read-only summary of the Backlog.md data in this project.

When this skill runs

  • The user asks for status, progress, or an overview ("where are we?").
  • Before or after a work session, to orient.

Procedure

  1. Read backlog instructions overview if not already loaded this session.
  2. Collect data: backlog task list --json plus milestones via the backlog CLI.
  3. Report compactly in chat:
    • Counts per status (To Do / In Progress / Done)
    • Every In Progress task: ID, title, open acceptance criteria
    • Milestones with done/total
    • Blocked or stale items worth flagging
  4. Point to the visual surfaces: sbl dashboard (live dashboard) or backlog browser (interactive Kanban).

Boundaries

  • Strictly read-only: never change task status, never edit tasks.
  • Never guess state from memory — always read fresh CLI output.
  • Keep the report short; link details instead of pasting them.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
