conventions

Operating wisdom for Backlog.md-managed repositories. This skill answers the when and why questions that the Backlog.md docs and backlog --help cannot.

When This Skill Runs

Trigger phrases:

• "create a backlog task" / "should this be a task?"
• "split this task" / "merge these tasks"
• "is this a decision?" / "mark this decision as accepted"
• "group these tasks into one PR"
• Any time the agent is about to write to backlog/tasks/, backlog/drafts/, or backlog/decisions/.

Prerequisites

• The repository already has Backlog.md installed (see this plugin's setup skill).
• A backlog/tasks/ directory exists.
