Backlog authoring

Overview

Create or append BACKLOG.md, then openspec validate / plan. Do not deliver the item here.

When to Use

  • /cc-backlog, first backlog in a repo, or appending ### BC-xxx items

NOT for executing an item (openspec) or for scorecards (evaluation).

Process

  1. If graphify-out/graph.json exists, graphify query "<objectives>". Then repo-explorer. Scope names real files.
  2. Invoke task-coach. One grilling question per assumption. Reject vague acceptance ("improve UX"). At most 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION].
  3. ccep evaluate --command backlog. If stop, wait for the human.
  4. Create BACKLOG.md from presets/templates/BACKLOG.md or append under ## Items. Do not rewrite ## Global or ## Archive.
  5. Next ID = max numeric suffix in Items + Archive + 1, zero-padded (BC-013).
  6. npx cc-codeconductor openspec validate. Fix until valid.
  7. openspec plan BC-xxx for each new item this run. Then tell the user to run /cc-openspec.

Required sections: ## Global, ## Items, ## Archive. Each item: ### BC-001 | Title with Priority, Status (READY after grilling), Type, Depends on, Description, Scope, Out of scope, Acceptance.

Local artifacts (BACKLOG.md, openspec/, .codeconductor/openspec-state.json) are gitignored in consumer projects. Do not git add them.

Common Rationalizations

RationalizationReality
This fix is small; skip the Task CardEvery item needs measurable acceptance.
I'll validate laterDo not plan until openspec validate passes.
Archive can be rewrittenArchive is history. Never rewrite or re-execute.

Red Flags

  • Acceptance that cannot fail a check
  • Editing openspec-state.json by hand
  • Planning an invalid backlog

Verification

  • openspec validate exit 0
  • New items have FR/SC-ready measurable acceptance
  • User pointed at /cc-openspec for delivery
