Add Backlog Item
This is the Codex command-style alias for Claude Code /add-backlog-item.
- Read
AGENTS.md for repository-wide rules.
- Read
docs/workflow/development-workflow/protocols/00-add-backlog-item-protocol.md.
- Prefer
./scripts/development-workflow/add-backlog-item.sh resolve to determine the configured tracker destination before creating anything.
- Follow the protocol exactly. Do not invent tracker-specific fields when the configured integration cannot be resolved.
- When candidate files are supplied, follow Step 2b and
docs/workflow/development-workflow/design-assets.md: recognize likely design
assets, clarify ambiguous files once, attach or stage confirmed assets, and
record a ## Design assets body section. Do not invent assets when none are
supplied.
