momentum-track
When you discover something that should be tracked during a session
(a bug, a missing feature, tech debt, an enhancement), automatically:
- Read
specs/backlog/backlog.md to find the next available ID
- Determine item type and prefix:
BUG-, FEAT-, TD-, or ENH-
- Add a row to the appropriate table with priority (infer from urgency), status
open, and target phase or unscheduled
- Mention the new item to the user: "I found [issue] and added it as [ID] to backlog"
This skill codifies Rule 3 (Auto-Track Discoveries) from the project rules.
When NOT to apply
- If the user explicitly asks you not to track something
- If the issue is already tracked (check the backlog first)
- For purely conversational exploration where no work item is identified
