Roslyn-Backed-MCP: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/close-backlog-rows/SKILL.md

close-backlog-rows is a skill for Claude Code from darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP. It costs 104 tokens per session (1,981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bookkeeping tool for closing completed rows in an AI documentation backlog, a file that tracks pending work. It verifies each row by its ID, removes the matching rows, updates the timestamp once, and reports priority-band changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to close two to six known backlog rows by ID during a batch reconciliation or release step.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating several manual searches and edits when multiple backlog items have already shipped.

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

close-backlog-rows 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 9d 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Close Backlog Rows

You close rows in ai_docs/backlog.md atomically by id. Non-destructive per-row verification, one updated_at bump at the end, structured per-band decrement report.

This skill does not query GitHub, pick the next rows to close, or edit any other file (state.json, plan.md, CHANGELOG.md, worktree state). It is a bookkeeping primitive for backlog closures.

Why this exists

ai_docs/backlog.md stores each row as a single long markdown table line (1500+ chars). When an agent tries to verify a row's content via Grep before Edit-ing, the [Omitted long matching line] truncation makes the context view unusable. The workaround is Read at a specific offset + limit: 1 per row — that costs 3 tool calls per row (Grep + Read + Edit) for a mechanical delete. Batch reconciles close 2-6 rows at a time; the overhead is meaningful.

This skill compresses the per-row dance into a single call.

Input

$ARGUMENTS is a comma-separated list of row ids (kebab-case, matching the id field of rows in ai_docs/backlog.md). Whitespace around commas is tolerated. Ids must match existing rows exactly — the skill refuses on unknown ids rather than guess.

Example: /close-backlog-rows position-probe-for-test-fixture-authoring, pragma-directive-scope-manipulation

Preconditions (HARD GATES — refuse if any fail)

  1. ai_docs/backlog.md exists at the repo root. If missing, refuse: "No ai_docs/backlog.md at repo root. Are you in the right repository?".
  2. At least one row id supplied — empty $ARGUMENTS refuses with usage text.
  3. Working tree is clean on ai_docs/backlog.md (no unstaged edits), OR the only unstaged path on it is the exact set of rows this skill is about to remove. If dirtier, refuse: "ai_docs/backlog.md has unrelated unstaged edits — commit or stash before closing rows.".
  4. Each supplied id resolves to exactly ONE row — zero matches → refuse with the unknown id; two or more matches → refuse with the line numbers (indicates duplicate rows, a separate bug).

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.
