# backlog
INTENT: a parking lot for ideas — lightweight to capture, structured enough to evaluate
later. The backlog never implements; promotion hands off to `/recon`.

## Key Rules
1. **Events Model**: Item files (`.planning/backlog/B-NNNN-<slug>.md`) are identity-only and never renamed. State is derived from `.planning/events.jsonl`.
2. **ID Allocation**: `BID=$(bravros nextid reserve backlog)`
3. **Write Safety**: All write flows must execute from the base branch at `$BACKLOG_ROOT`, committed, and pushed immediately to prevent ID collisions.
## Command Summary
- `/backlog` — list active backlog items
- `/backlog <number>` — view details of a specific item
- `/backlog add <text>` — capture a new idea
- `/backlog promote <number|N-M>` — hand off idea to `/recon`
- `/backlog done|drop <number>` — complete or cancel an item
- `/backlog pending group [auto]` — cluster active items into plan-sized groups

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
Adversarial multi-agent planning skill. Self-orchestrates 5 hostile category members (unspecified-low, unspecified-high, deep, ultrabrain, artistry) via team-mode for ruthless cross-critique debate, distills only the defensible insights, then MANDATORILY hands the distilled insight bundle to the `plan` agent for executable plan formalization. Use when planning needs maximum rigor and surfacing of weak assumptions, blind spots, and over-engineering. Triggers: 'hyperplan', 'hpp', '/hyperplan', ...
Routes multi-tool workflows through MCP servers for large datasets and pipelines. Use when Bash tool overhead is limiting throughput on data-heavy tasks.
**Complete production-ready guide for Google Gemini embeddings API** This skill provides comprehensive coverage of the `gemini-embedding-001` model for generating text embeddings, including SDK usage, REST API patterns, batch processing, RAG integration with Cloudflare Vectorize, and advanced use cases like semantic search and document clustering. ---
Recovers prior coding-agent session context by running `catchup <agent> --since-compact`, which extracts a clean summary of a previous Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, or Pi Agent session. Use when the user says "catch up", "what did the last session do", "get me up to speed", "I switched agents", or asks to recover/summarize a previous session before continuing. Do NOT use for the current conversation, git history, or any non-agent log.
