Proactively suggest creating a design document when discussing significant changes, new features, or architectural decisions. Also triggers when user has existing markdown docs that should be converted to org-mode. Use when conversation involves design decisions that should be documented, when user mentions RFC/RFD/design doc, or when proposing changes that warrant formal documentation. Trigger on phrases like "we should document this", "this needs an RFC", "let me think through the design", "convert this to org", or when discussing tradeoffs between multiple approaches.

Check for in-progress work on session start. Use when beginning a new session in a project with backlog.org. Triggers automatically at session start or when user says "what was I working on?", "resume", "continue", or "where did I leave off?". Surfaces WIP tasks and handoff notes to enable seamless session continuity.

Reminder to update backlog.org before commits or when finishing significant work. Use before committing changes, after completing implementation from plan mode, or when wrapping up a work session. This skill ensures the project's task tracking in backlog.org stays current with actual progress. Trigger when about to commit, exiting plan mode, or when user says "done", "let's commit", "wrap up", or similar.

Ensures Claude Tasks are cross-referenced in backlog.org. Triggers when creating Claude Tasks, using TodoWrite, or when subagents create tasks. This keeps backlog.org as the human-readable hub while agents use their native primitives. Trigger when using task management features, spawning subagents, or completing multi-step work.

Initialize the design doc backlog system in a project. Use when the user wants to: - Set up design docs for a project - Initialize the backlog system - Configure design doc workflow - Add design doc task management
