Show Backlog
Print the current project's BACKLOG.md as-is. Read-only — no other radin
skill/agent does this; radin-record/radin-review write to it,
radin-plan/radin-execute consume it, this just displays it.
Step 1: Resolve project namespace, locate BACKLOG_FILE
All radin state for a project lives inside that project's repo, in
.claude/.radin/ at the repo root (example: repo /Users/x/proj →
/Users/x/proj/.claude/.radin/BACKLOG.md). Do not compute this path
yourself — run the shared namespace-resolution script and read REPO_ROOT,
NAMESPACE_DIR, BACKLOG_FILE from its output in the same Bash call
(shell state doesn't persist between separate calls):
source <(bash "$HOME/.claude/radin-lib/radin-namespace.sh" | sed 's/^/export /')
test -s "$BACKLOG_FILE" && cat "$BACKLOG_FILE" || echo MISSING
Step 2: Show it
Output was MISSING: tell the user this project has no backlog yet and
point them at radin-record or radin-review to start one. Don't create an
empty file.
Output was the file contents: print them to the user as-is — no
summarizing, reordering, or filtering. If the user's request narrowed scope
(e.g. "show me the fix items", "just the open bugs"), filter to the matching
## <category> section(s) instead of the whole file, but default to the
whole file when they didn't ask for a subset.
Guardrails
- Read-only — never writes to
$BACKLOG_FILE or creates it if missing.
- No summarizing/reordering/filtering unless the user's request narrowed
scope.
Output
Full contents of $BACKLOG_FILE (or the matching ## <category>
section(s) if scope was narrowed), printed as-is.
