backlog

backlog is a skill for Codex from r13v/pi-feature-dev. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-based backlog for ideas that are intentionally postponed in a Git repository. Each item keeps the idea, why it matters, supporting evidence, and why it was deferred.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add, list, summarize, revisit, or clean up deferred work under `docs/backlog/`. It also records the code location and Git history related to each item.
Why use it?
It preserves the context behind unfinished ideas so they are not lost or mistaken for approved work. Reading an item does not authorize implementing it.

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Good fit It helps add, list, summarize, revisit, or clean up deferred work under docs/backlog/. It also records the code location and Git history related to each item.

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 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 today.

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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Backlog

A backlog item is a deferred idea with its reason and evidence. It is an option to return to, not a commitment to do the work. Reading the backlog does not give permission to work an item. Do not commit, push, or post items to a pull request or an issue unless the user asks.

The backlog needs a git repository, because git history keeps the items that were done or dropped. Outside a git repository, tell the user and stop.

Item format

Keep one file for each item: docs/backlog/<slug>.md at the repository root. The slug names the idea, not a file, such as export-ignores-time-zone.md.

---
worth: later
where: src/export/csv.ts:42
added: 2026-10-23
source: ship 20261023-1500-add-export, f/export @ 01c9a47

# Export ignores the time zone of the account

**Idea.** What to change, in one or two sentences.

**Why it matters.** Who gets which result, and what happens without it.

**Evidence.** Places in the code, commands and their output, observations.

**Why it was deferred.** Why the source task did not do it, and what is
still unknown.
  • worth:
    • yes: the value is agreed. This does not set a schedule.
    • later: the value is not clear yet. The body names the unknown.
    • no: a decision not to do it, with the reason in the body. Keep it so that the same idea is not argued again.
  • where: optional path:line. It is a hint, because lines move.
  • added: the date when the item was added. Do not change it.
  • source: the task that found the idea, the branch, and the short commit.

Write the body for a reader who does not know the source task.

A file that exists is an open item. When the idea is done, delete the file in the change that does it. When the idea is dropped, delete the file. Do not add a status field, an archive, or an index file.

An item is stale when the claim in its evidence is no longer true in the current code. A moved line does not make an item stale. Update its where.

Change an existing item only to add evidence, to update where, to change worth, or to delete it. Do not rewrite other text in it.

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.

backlog is a skill published in the GitHub repository r13v/pi-feature-dev (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,526 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-24.
