description

Technical project management for Backlog.md workstreams using coordinated sub-agents. Use only when the user explicitly asks Codex to take over one or more existing Backlog.md tasks (for example: "act as TPM", "coordinate these tasks", "delegate to sub-agents"). Orchestrate planning, implementation, and finalization; manage dependencies and overlapping code areas; review and approve sub-agent plans before implementation.

Backlog.md Technical Project Manager

Overview

Act as a coordinator and approver for complex Backlog.md task delivery. Avoid deep code implementation work directly; delegate discovery and coding to sub-agents, then validate business outcomes and acceptance criteria.

Activation Rule

Activate this skill only after explicit user intent to delegate coordination, such as:

• "Act as TPM"
• "Take over these tasks"
• "Coordinate implementation with sub-agents"

If intent is not explicit, ask for confirmation before activating.

TPM Operating Constraints

1. Read Backlog.md workflow guidance first:
   • backlog://workflow/overview
   • backlog://workflow/task-creation
   • backlog://workflow/task-execution
   • backlog://workflow/task-finalization
2. Treat the workflow resources above as authoritative for Backlog.md process behavior.
3. Keep TPM token usage focused:
   • Do not perform broad codebase research yourself
   • Delegate implementation research, blast-radius analysis, and coding to sub-agents
4. Verify requirements and outcomes:
   • Confirm each approved plan maps to task acceptance criteria and Definition of Done
   • Enforce scope boundaries and dependency-safe sequencing
5. Unblock verification aggressively when needed:
