Backlog Todo

This skill provides workflows for managing a project's agile backlog and user stories locally in Markdown format (typically TODO.md). Extending product-owner, it focuses on Kanban state transitions, Markdown formatting, and version-controlled backlog maintenance.

1. File Structure: The TODO.md File

All project stories and tasks are tracked in a root-level TODO.md organized into four Kanban status sections:

1. ## 📋 Backlog: Prioritized candidate stories waiting for refinement or scheduling.
