Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
The backlogmd skill allows AI agents to interact with and manage Markdown-formatted documents as if they were a backlog or task list. It can parse these files, extract tasks, update statuses (e.g., "To Do," "In Progress," "Done"), and generate reports based on the content. This facilitates streamlined project management directly within text files.
When to use it
- Simple Project Tracking: For small projects where a traditional project management tool feels like overkill, manage tasks in a Markdown file.
- Documentation with Tasks: Integrate task tracking into documentation by embedding tasks directly within the document itself.
- Quick Status Updates: Quickly update the status of tasks without switching to a dedicated application.
- Markdown-First Workflow: If you prefer working primarily with Markdown, this skill keeps your workflow consistent.
Key capabilities
- Parses Markdown files containing task lists.
- Identifies and extracts individual tasks from the file.
- Updates task statuses based on provided instructions.
- Generates reports summarizing task progress (e.g., number of open tasks).
Example prompts
- "Mark 'Implement user authentication' as 'In Progress'."
- "Show me a list of all 'To Do' tasks."
- "How many tasks are currently marked as 'Done'?"
- “Generate a report summarizing the status of all tasks in my backlog.”
Tips & gotchas
The skill relies on consistent Markdown formatting for task lists. Ensure your Markdown uses clear indicators (e.g., - [ ] or - [x]) to define tasks and their statuses.
