implement-backlog

implement-backlog is a skill for Claude Code from tobihagemann/turbo. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for selecting and implementing a confirmed set of improvements from a repository backlog.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for processing one lane of work at a time: a direct change, an investigation, or a written plan.
Why use it?
It validates backlog entries and keeps unrelated work from being mixed into the current session.

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

implement-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 yesterday.

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

Implement Backlog

Validate improvements from .turbo/backlog.md, propose a specific working set based on the backlog's actual contents, and run one lane per session: direct, investigate, or plan. Mixing lanes in a single run tangles commits, so the skill processes exactly one lane each time. Entries outside the confirmed working set stay in the backlog for future runs.

When a working set and a lane were passed in, by the user or in a message from another session, start at Step 5 with them and create tasks for Steps 5 and 6 alone.

Task Tracking

At the start, use TaskCreate to create a task for each step:

  1. Read the backlog
  2. Validate and classify
  3. Recommend, confirm, and update the backlog
  4. Brief the extra sessions
  5. Run the chosen lane
  6. Prune working-set entries from the backlog

Step 1: Read the Backlog

Resolve the repo root with git rev-parse --show-toplevel, except inside a linked worktree — where git rev-parse --git-dir differs from --git-common-dir — in which case use the parent of the common dir.

When that root holds the legacy .turbo/improvements.md, carry it into .turbo/backlog.md before reading, with the Write or Edit tool. When .turbo/backlog.md does not exist, write the legacy content there with its # Improvements header changed to # Backlog. Otherwise, append each legacy entry that .turbo/backlog.md does not already hold word for word. Once .turbo/backlog.md holds every legacy entry, delete the legacy file. When the write or the deletion is refused, tell the user what is left to do.

Read .turbo/backlog.md under that root. If it does not exist, there are no backlog entries to implement; stop.

Parse all entries, extracting for each:

  • Summary (the ### heading)
  • Type (direct, investigate, or plan; may be missing in older entries — trivial and standard are accepted as legacy aliases for direct and plan)
  • Category
  • Where (file paths or areas)
  • Why (rationale)
  • Ceiling and Revisit (present when the entry records a deliberate simplification; Revisit alone when the entry waits on an outside event)
  • Noted (date)

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.
