+
+## Backlog.md Workflow
+
+This project uses Backlog.md for task and project management.
+
+**For every user request in this project, run `backlog instructions overview` before answering or taking action.**
+
+Use the overview to decide whether to search, read, create, or update Backlog tasks.
+
+Use the detailed guides when needed:
+- `backlog instructions task-creation` for creating or splitting tasks
+- `backlog instructions task-execution` for planning and implementation workflow
+- `backlog instructions task-finalization` for completion and handoff
+
+Use `backlog <command> --help` before running unfamiliar commands. Help shows options, fields, and examples.
+
+Do not edit Backlog task, draft, document, decision, or milestone markdown files directly. Use the `backlog` CLI so metadata, relationships, and history stay consistent.
+
