speckit.backlog

speckit.backlog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wedabro/bro-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A backlog manager for recording future ideas and requests, and for collecting TODO, FIXME, HACK, and BUG notes from source code. A backlog is a list of work that has not been completed yet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save ideas for later, scan the codebase for marked unfinished work, summarize technical debt, and turn selected backlog items into specifications.
Why use it?
It keeps postponed requests and known code problems from being forgotten or scattered across conversations and files. It also limits reviews to work related to the area currently being changed.

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

speckit.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.

What it actually says

🎯 Mission

Organize and prioritize unfulfilled requirements, ensuring no ideas or bugs are missed during long-term development.

📋 Protocol

Phase 1: Idea Scoping (Idea recording)

  • When a user makes a request that they don't want to do right away, save it to .agents/backlog/IDEAS.md .
  • Each idea needs: Description, Priority (Low/Med/High), Status (Pending).

Phase 2: Automated Todo Scan (Scan source code)

  • Use the command grep to find the keywords: TODO: , FIXME: , HACK: , BUG: .
  • Summarize the results found into .agents/backlog/TECHNICAL_DEBT.md .

Phase 3: Backlog Grooming (Backlog filtering)

  • Periodically review items in the backlog to convert to spec.md when the user is ready to deploy.

🚫 Guard Rails

  • DO NOT arbitrarily delete the backlog without asking the user.
  • DO NOT overflow the context by listing thousands of TODOs. Only list tasks related to the area you are working on.

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.
