backlog

TIL_PATH: All ${TIL_PATH}/... references below resolve to the vault's configured TIL path (injected at SessionStart). Bash expands ${TIL_PATH} automatically. For Read/Edit/Glob/Write tools, substitute the resolved value before passing it as an argument (e.g. ${TIL_PATH}/SCHEMA.md → 40-Resources/til/SCHEMA.md). Default til when not injected; call MCP til_get_path if you need the current value.

Backlog Skill

View learning backlog + summarize progress (read-only).

MCP Tools

• til_backlog_status: Overall/per-category progress (includes sections when category is specified)

Workflow

No arguments (/backlog)

1. Call til_backlog_status (fall back to ./${TIL_PATH}/*/backlog.md Glob if MCP unavailable)
2. If no backlog found, show /research guidance and exit
3. Summarize as table: category (link), progress, completed count, last activity date, progress bar

With arguments (/backlog category)

1. Pass category to til_backlog_status → use sections
2. Output per section:
   • ## {heading} ({completed}/{total})
   • - (x) [{displayName}]({path}) / - ( ) [{displayName}]({path})
   • Do not use - [ ]/- [x] markdown checkboxes (not rendered in terminal)

Output Rules

• All category/item names as [display name](path) markdown links
• Do not expose raw paths
• Progress bar: 10 slots (█ completed, ░ incomplete)
• Do not modify backlog files (read-only)
