aid-design-backlog is a skill for Claude Code from AndreVianna/aid-methodology. It costs 175 tokens per session (1,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning aid for deciding which work items belong in a project plan and in what order. It records each item's definition, completion conditions, priority, and accepted technical debt, meaning known work postponed for later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define and prioritize backlog items and decide which known technical-debt items to accept into the plan.
Why use it?
It helps the team agree on the planned work before adding items to the official backlog, a list of work still to do.

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

aid-design-backlog 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 26d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design Backlog (develop the item set as a design seed, resolve nothing)

/aid-design-backlog develops the defined-and-prioritized item set as a design seed in .aid/design/backlog.md. It is a design-stage skill under the shared contract in .aid/runtime/templates/design-lifecycle.md, which this skill binds to and does not restate. It never writes .aid/knowledge/backlog.md and never writes production code (design-lifecycle.md § The three stages -- the design invariant); realizing a ready seed into backlog.md -- including moving accepted rows out of tech-debt.md -- is /aid-create-backlog's job, not this one's.

  • Boundary vs /aid-design-roadmap: this skill develops item definitions, done-conditions and priorities at item granularity; direction at roadmap altitude, with no item ids in it, is /aid-design-roadmap's own act, not this one's.
  • Boundary vs /aid-create-backlog: that skill realizes a ready seed into backlog.md and performs the tech-debt.md promotion; this one only proposes which rows to accept. Neither resolves anything on its own -- the user confirms every promotion at /aid-create-backlog's own gate.
  • Not a numbered pipeline phase; does not route to /aid-execute.

State machine: INTAKE -> DESIGN -> VERIFY (loop) -> PRESENT [user decides] -> DONE. Print the [State: NAME] -- {purpose} entry line on each state.

State: INTAKE

  1. Require a subject. Empty argument -> ask one bootstrapping question ("What items do you want to define and prioritize, and are there tech-debt.md rows you're ready to accept into the plan?") and wait.
  2. Allocate, exactly per design-lifecycle.md § Skill shape -- Allocation -- the Work Initiation Gate, then initiator: aid-design-backlog, active_skill: aid-design-backlog, pipeline.path: lite, lifecycle: Running. phase is not driven.
  3. Acquire .aid/design/. Per design-lifecycle.md § Before writing a seed -- ensure the folder exists and seed its README.md on first use, before writing anything.
  4. Read the existing seed, if one is present. .aid/design/backlog.md -- re-invocation iterates the same seed rather than starting over.
  5. Classify complexity (model + effort) for the aid-architect dispatch below; verifier tier >= producer tier (agent-dispatch-tiering.md).

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.
