backlog-management

backlog-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jessinra/Lorekeeper. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,575 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to managing Lorekeeper tickets, including their numbering, folder locations, status changes, and required scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating tickets, checking which work is ready, moving tickets through proposal and delivery stages, or onboarding someone to the project workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents tickets from getting lost or showing the wrong status by keeping their file location and workflow state aligned.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/lorekeeper-backlog.sh.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-management 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 1mo 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.

Backlog Management

How tickets work in the Lorekeeper project. Every ticket has a lifecycle and a home.

Where Tickets Live

~/Code/lorekeeper/backlogs/
├── proposal/           # Raw ideas, S:Proposal
├── ready/              # Validated + prioritized, S:Ready
├── done/               # Shipped + verified, S:Done
├── cancelled/          # Won't do, S:Cancelled
└── TEMPLATE.md         # Template

Tickets are PROPOSAL → READY → DONE (or CANCELLED). File location must match status — when status changes, git mv the file to the corresponding subdirectory. Zero files should live at backlogs/ root level.

Currently deferred tickets (S:Deferred) remain in proposal/ with the deferred label; they aren't ready for promotion but aren't dead either. Cancelled tickets are never reborn.

Ticket Lifecycle

S:proposal → S:ready → S:in-progress → S:review → S:done
                         ↓
               S:deferred / S:cancelled
Status Meaning Who moves it File location
S:proposal Raw idea, not yet committed Anyone proposal/
S:ready Validated & prioritised, ready to work PM ready/
S:in-progress Being worked on Dev ready/
S:review Code done, pending PM review Dev ready/
S:done Shipped, verified PM done/
S:deferred Valid but not now PM proposal/
S:cancelled Won't do PM cancelled/

Numbering Convention

SEQUENTIAL only. Highest existing number + 1. Gaps are from done tickets moved to backlogs/done/. Never fill gaps.

Check all subdirectories (proposal/, ready/, done/, cancelled/) to find the highest number.

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.
