About

Backlog.md Markdown‑native Task Manager & Kanban visualizer for any Git repository AI agents write the code. You review the tasks: before, during, and after.

Backlog.md turns any folder into a self‑contained project board powered by plain Markdown files and a zero‑config CLI.

AI agents can now produce more plausible code in an hour than you can carefully read in a day. The bottleneck is no longer writing code. It's your attention. You can't meaningfully review 15,000 generated lines in one sitting, but you can read a screenful of task specs with acceptance criteria before any code exists, and push back while a misunderstanding is still one sentence, not a rebuilt feature.
