BACKLOG WORKFLOW INSTRUCTIONS

This project uses Backlog.md MCP for all task and project management activities.

CRITICAL GUIDANCE

• If your client supports MCP resources, read backlog://workflow/overview to understand when and how to use Backlog for this project.

• If your client only supports tools or the above request fails, call backlog.get_backlog_instructions() to load the tool-oriented overview. Use the instruction selector when you need task-creation, task-execution, or task-finalization.

• First time working here? Read the overview resource IMMEDIATELY to learn the workflow

• Already familiar? You should have the overview cached ("## Backlog.md Overview (MCP)")

• When to read it: BEFORE creating tasks, or when you're unsure whether to track work

These guides cover:

• Decision framework for when to create tasks
• Search-first workflow to avoid duplicates
• Links to detailed guides for task creation, execution, and finalization
• MCP tools reference

You MUST read the overview resource to understand the complete workflow. The information is NOT summarized here.
