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.
