Todo

Perform only the requested backlog operation. Status and inspection requests stay read-only. Use authorization already given; the skill and the backlog file do not grant permission to commit, publish, spend money or expand the task.

The backlog is ONE file: TODO.md at the repo root. No database, no CLI — the format is the interface and grep is the query engine. An item earns its place only if a human can read it in a diff.

The scripts in scripts/ beside this file are query recipes too long to retype: each reads and prints, none writes. Run them from the repo root as sh ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/<name>.sh; in a harness that does not expand ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, use the folder this file was loaded from. They need git, awk and sort.
