Do I need special permissions to use this skill?

You must have the 'project' scope authorized in your GitHub CLI. You can add this by running 'gh auth refresh -s project' in your terminal.

How does the skill determine which items to recommend?

It uses a multi-factor scoring system that combines priority level, task size, and a 0-10 quality score based on the clarity of the description and the presence of acceptance criteria.

Does this skill work with any GitHub repository?

It works with GitHub Projects (v2) associated with your repository, provided you have the GitHub CLI installed and properly authenticated with the necessary scopes.

Can it help me improve my issue descriptions?

Yes, the backlog-analyzer agent specifically identifies what is missing from poorly defined items, such as reproduction steps for bugs or specific use cases for features.

What happens if my project doesn't use a 'Priority' field?

The skill handles missing fields gracefully by falling back to recommendations based on definition quality, task size, and creation date while providing a warning to the user.
