How does it track feature status?

Status is determined by file presence: idea.md alone is 'backlog', adding plan.md makes it 'in-progress', and adding shipped.md marks it as 'completed'.

Do I need to initialize the project first?

Yes, you must run the /feature-init command once to establish the necessary directory structure before using the capture workflow.

What is Feature Backlog Capture?

It is a Claude Code skill that provides an interactive workflow for adding and organizing new feature ideas or requirements into a project's documentation structure.

Can I edit the DASHBOARD.md file manually?

No, the dashboard is auto-generated by hooks based on your feature directories. The skill is designed to read this file for validation but ignores manual edits.

Why use markdown instead of JSON for the backlog?

Markdown provides better human readability, easier version control diffs, and allows documentation to live right next to the code it describes.

生产力与工作流

Captures and organizes project features, ideas, and requirements into a structured, markdown-based backlog.

Feature Backlog Capture is an interactive Claude Code skill designed to streamline the project management lifecycle by transforming raw ideas into structured backlog items. It guides users through a focused interview process to define feature types, problem statements, and impact levels, automatically generating organized directory structures and markdown files with YAML frontmatter. By enforcing a standardized 'Status Detection by File Presence' methodology, it ensures your project roadmap remains transparent, maintainable, and version-controlled directly within your repository alongside your code.
