clio-kit-backlog

clio-kit-backlog is a skill for Claude Code from iowarp/clio-kit. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,718 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A procedure for turning a finished product requirements or architecture document into small work items with clear acceptance checks. It can then create those items in GitHub or another configured issue tracker.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break approved plans into tickets, write verifiable acceptance criteria, confirm the result, and publish the issues.
Why use it?
It bridges the gap between a high-level plan and work that engineers can implement and verify.

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

clio-kit-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 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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host compatibility

This copy is adapted from Clio Coder. Apply the procedure using the current host's available tools and the user's authorized scope. The tool names, /skill invocations, .clio-coder paths, fleets, approval gates and completion gates below describe Clio Coder; they are not installed or enforced by this skill in another host. Use the host's actual skill invocation and equivalent tools. If no equivalent exists, report the missing capability. Do not assume a tool is unavailable merely because the original headless workflow says so. A referenced agent or skill must be installed before relying on it. Scientific MCPs must be configured separately.

Adapted skills use the clio-kit- prefix to distinguish them from upstream audited skills. For a companion skill named below, select its clio-kit- copy from this collection; native agents, fleets and external programs retain their original names.

Backlog

Turn a finished planning doc into small, engineer-ready tickets on a real tracker. Decomposition is tracker-agnostic; creation branches on the target.

Arguments

/skill clio-kit-backlog <path to the finished PRD or planning doc>
  • Required: the doc path. Named inline, or clearly the file just discussed in context — never a doc invented from memory. If no path can be found or inferred, say so at Step 1 and stop; do not decompose without a doc.
  • Optional, inferred rather than asked for by default: target platform (Step 1's own rule picks it — see below) and a milestone/epic to attach tickets to.

There is no operator in a headless run: ask_user is not registered, so any call is refused as an unregistered tool rather than answered; that is not a stall, and calling it again will not produce a different result. This skill treats headless degradation differently at each step below, because Step 3 gates an outward, not-cleanly-reversible action — real tickets, GitHub issues or persisted local tasks — not a document write:

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
