backlog-scan

What problem does it solve?

This Skill autonomously scans the entire codebase against the CLAUDE.md specification to identify all gaps and generate a prioritized, numbered backlog of tasks. It enables planning at scale without writing code, guiding teams from broad exploration to concrete tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Gap Discovery: Scans the whole repo (frontend/, backend/, components/, e2e/) against CLAUDE.md to surface all gaps.
• Prioritized Task Backlog: Produces a numbered backlog with clear task titles and priorities.
• Planning Only: Creates tasks but does not implement or start coding.
• Context Loading: Leverages existing rules, recent done tasks, and available skills to inform planning.
• Use Case: When starting a new development phase or backlog is stale, run this to generate backlog and run /discover-tasks to drill into specifics.
• Note: This skill is for planning; do not use it to implement tasks or address quick bugs.

Quick Start

Use the backlog-scan slash command to generate a comprehensive backlog. Review the created tasks and decide which to pursue. For a single specific task, use the feature-planning skill or /new-task. The following steps are provided to guide you through the backlog creation process.
