# Backlog.md Task Tracking for Agents
Task tracking system optimized for agent workflows via Backlog.md CLI.
## Three Primary Use Cases
### 1. Implementer: Deferring Issues During Feature Work
File P2-P4 issues discovered during implementation. Use label `remediation` for deferred review findings.
- **Create with plan**: You have implementation context at filing time
- **Assign priority**: See priority guide
- **Add type label** (required) + **app labels** (optional)
### 2. Reviewer: Audit Findings
Create structured issues from security/audit reviews. Link dependencies and assign to milestones.
- **Create with plan**: You're creating from audit context
- **Link dependencies** as needed
- **Assign priority**: Ask user if uncertain (label `priority-review`)
- **Set milestones**
### 3. Worker: Executing Assigned Tasks
Read task fully, understand all fields, follow acceptance criteria and definition of done.
- **Claim task**: `backlog task edit 42 -s "In Progress" -a @myself`
- **Read everything**: All fields, attached files/URLs, linked documentation
- **Complete systematically**: AC → Implementation Notes → Final Summary → DoD → Done
## Absolute Rules
1. **CLI only for writes**. `backlog task edit` and `backlog task create` only. Never edit files directly.
2. **Always use `--plain` flag** when reading: `backlog task 42 --plain`, `backlog task list --plain`
3. **Type label required** (bug|feature|documentation|refactor|remediation), single value only
4. **App labels optio
