Backlog hygiene

Use for backlog cleanup requests or weekly backlog hygiene schedules.

Process

1. Read configured team and project backlogs. Done when each configured backlog has been scanned.
2. Identify stale, obsolete, duplicate, ownerless, priorityless, and unclear issues.
3. Group findings by recommended action.
4. Keep bulk recommendations under the configured max bulk issue count unless asked otherwise.
5. Propose cleanup actions instead of applying them automatically.

Output

Use the agent default response shape, plus backlog findings, suggested cleanup actions, duplicates or obsolete issues, and clarification candidates.
