mindforge-add-backlog

mindforge-add-backlog is a skill for Claude Code from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 19 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for adding an idea to a project's backlog, the list of work saved for possible future development. It creates a numbered backlog entry and records it in the roadmap.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture a new future idea in a Mindforge project. It helps find the next backlog number, create the matching phase directory, update the roadmap, and commit the change.
Why use it?
It keeps unplanned ideas from being lost or mixed with active work. The entry can later be reviewed and promoted into a planned phase.

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

mindforge-add-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 5d 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.

What it actually says

  1. Read ROADMAP.md to find existing backlog entries:

    cat .planning/ROADMAP.md
    
  2. Find next backlog number:

    NEXT=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)
    

    If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.

  3. Create the phase directory:

    SLUG=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS")
    mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
    touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
    
  4. Add to ROADMAP.md under a ## Backlog section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end:

    ## Backlog
    
    ### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG)
    
    **Goal:** [Captured for future planning]
    **Requirements:** TBD
    **Plans:** 0 plans
    
    Plans:
    - [ ] TBD (promote with /mindforge-review-backlog when ready)
    
  5. Commit:

    node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
    
  6. Report:

    ## 📋 Backlog Item Added
    
    Phase {NEXT}: {description}
    Directory: .planning/phases/{NEXT}-{slug}/
    
    This item lives in the backlog parking lot.
    Use /mindforge-discuss-phase {NEXT} to explore it further.
    Use /mindforge-review-backlog to promote items to active milestone.

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.
