# Backlog Scanner
Identify, classify and format backlog candidates from any source
material: meeting transcripts, chat history, documents, side
conversations, user feedback.
The output is a file someone can act on: candidates written as user
stories, and everything that did not qualify listed with where it
should go instead. Nothing raised in the source is silently dropped.
---
## Trigger
Activated when the user:
- Says "backlog scan", "scan for backlog", "extract backlog items",
"find backlog opportunities"
- Provides a transcript or document and asks for backlog extraction
- Asks to consolidate backlog items across several sources
## Workflow
### Step 0: establish the context
Ask before scanning, in one message, and keep the answers for the
rest of the session. Skip any question the user has already answered
in their request.
1. **What is this product or programme called?** Used in the output
filename and its heading.
2. **Who are the users, by role?** Their real job titles, not
"user". An analyst, a site foreman, a claims handler, a teacher:
the specific role is what makes a user story arguable.
3. **Is there an existing backlog to check against?** If yes, what
are its reference prefixes and where can it be read.
4. **Who decides what enters the backlog?** The candidates file is
addressed to that person, and saying so changes how it is
written.
If the user does not answer, proceed with generic defaults and say
so once at the top of the output
