export-backlog

Skill that creates Epics, Sub-Epics, and Issues from the contents of reports/

Input: All documents in the reports/ directory. Works with output from either the product or architect pipeline.

Output: The following three artifacts.

  1. reports/backlog/backlog-plan.md: A human-readable plan document
  2. backlog-manifest.json: Machine-readable data
  3. The GitLab/GitHub Issues that are actually created

Command and Key Options

/architect:export-backlog [--provider=gitlab|github] [--project=<path>] [--dry-run] [--yes] [--lang=en|ja]
Option Description
--provider The tracker to use. If omitted, auto-detected from the repository’s remote URL
--project The target project. For GitLab: group/subgroup/project; for GitHub: owner/repo
--dry-run Outputs only the plan document (backlog-plan.md) without creating any Issues
--yes Skips plan document approval and proceeds directly to creation
--lang Output language for Issue bodies and reports

On the first run, it is safer to use --dry-run to review the plan document first, then run again without the flag once you are satisfied with the content.

Mapping Model

Work is organized into a clear three-level hierarchy of Epics, Sub-Epics, and Issues.

  • Epic (large-scale work) — “what” and “why”: Typically one per product. Describes why and for what purpose the product is being built.
  • Sub-Epic (mid-level work) — “what” to build, KRs (measurable numeric targets): Divided by feature area or ownership domain. Write measurable KRs based on SLOSLOサービスがどれだけ安定して動くべきかという目標。SLI(測り方)とSLA(顧客への約束)と組で使います。用語集で見る and NFRNFR(非機能要件)非機能要件。性能・信頼性・セキュリティなど、「何ができるか」以外の要件。用語集で見る. If numbers are not yet decided, mark them explicitly as “TBD”.
  • Issue (smallest actionable unit of work) — “how”: Broken down to the smallest individually actionable unit. Split by one feature, one API endpoint, or one schema change. Do not write more than five acceptance criteria per Issue or mix multiple aggregates into a single Issue.
