What problem does it solve? Teams maintaining a structured backlog of issues need a disciplined way to pick the next eligible item and drive it through specification, implementation, and completion without skipping required human approvals. This Skill enforces that end-to-end delivery workflow so no gate is bypassed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dependency-aware issue selection: Filters backlog issues by frontmatter status and depends-on completion, then ranks candidates using the tier or wave order in backlog/overview.md. - Specification-first delivery: Delegates implementation-spec creation to the feature-spec-creator skill and requires explicit human approval of the spec before any code is written. - Approval-gated completion: Records human sign-off at each stage (issue start, spec, code, architecture records) before marking the issue completed and archiving the spec under specs/completed/. - Use Case: A maintainer asks which backlog issue to tackle next; the Skill reads the backlog ledger, proposes the highest-priority unblocked issue with dependency evidence, and walks the human through spec approval, implementation, verification, and archival. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start the next backlog issue end-to-end and it will select an eligible issue and guide you through each approval gate.
