SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Answering "what's left to do?" from memory silently drops work: stale plan stubs, open incidents without follow-ups, buried TODO/FIXME markers, and half-merged worktrees. This Skill performs a complete, inspectable sweep of every backlog surface in a repository before any work starts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full backlog enumeration: Scans active plan directories, open learning-loop findings, in-code TODO/FIXME/XXX/HACK markers, live git worktrees, and doctor/verify drift. - Disciplined triage: Classifies every item as do-now, skip (with a recorded reason), or route-to-config so nothing is silently dropped. - Chained execution: Hands the do-now set to the agent-protocol skill for multi-agent draining, or runs one or two items inline through the planmax loop. - Use Case: At the start of a work session, ask "what's left?" to get a grounded, triaged list of all open work across plans, incidents, code markers, and worktrees before committing to a task. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to sweep the backlog and tell you what open work remains in this repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find all open work in a repository?▼

Run the todo sweep, which enumerates active plan files, open learning-loop findings, TODO/FIXME/XXX/HACK code markers, live git worktrees, and doctor or verify drift. Every item is triaged as do-now, skip, or route-to-config with a recorded reason.

How to triage a backlog before starting multi-agent work?▼

The sweep classifies each item using the same do-now, skip, and route-to-config scheme that agent-protocol phase 1 consumes. The triaged do-now set is handed directly to agent-protocol without re-deriving the triage.

Does the todo sweep work with any repository layout?▼

Yes, all paths resolve through .harness/config.json rather than hardcoded locations. It reads plan directories, learning-loop directories, the default branch, and the verify contract from that configuration.

When should I not use the backlog sweep?▼

Do not invoke it for a single named task the user has already scoped; just do that task directly. It is designed for open-ended questions like what's left or session-start grounding, not targeted work.

What happens if the sweep finds nothing actionable?▼

If everything is skipped or gated, the sweep reports that plainly and stops. An empty do-now set is treated as a valid, honest answer rather than a prompt to invent work.
