backlog-add
Create and manage work items in the top-level Work/ folder — each a multi-session effort with a Spec (what to build), a Tasks checklist (one task ≈ one session), and a Progress log. This is the project's execution state, separate from the Wiki knowledge base. Use for: "new work item", "start a work item", "spec out X", "plan for X", "break X into tasks", "track this across sessions", "add a task", "update the spec", or the /backlog-add command. Creates Work/Backlog/a named item.md, bootstrapping the folder if missing. A work item's status is its folder (Backlog/Ready/Active/UnderReview/Done/Dropped), not a field. Specs follow the document-revise protocol; shaping one together with the user over a long sitting is the backlog-refine skill. Do NOT trigger on casual uses of the word "work".
