Hello HN, Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's "LLM Council" concept, I built a lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets different AI agents communicate with each other l…

Steer mode helps you ship faster as an individual. With Delegate you'll use AI more like a team lead. Should you use one, the other or both?

Hi. I’m the author of backlog.md . Your team did a great job on Vibe Kanban. It looks great and has a cool name. I like to see more tools trying to solve the human-ai agent interac…

Backlog.md is still a bit rough on the edges but is definitely a proof that markdown files and AI Agents work really well together. I started working on it exactly a month ago

Thanks. Let me know if you have any feedback

Didn’t know this tool. Thanks for sharing

I made it configurable and autoCommit is false by default

Never heard of taskwarrior. I will check it out. Thanks for sharing

Yep. Dependecies are supported via —dep parameter. Will check the 404 issues. Thanks for reporting it

It is so confusing that I had to add custom instructions for Codex telling him that Backlog.md is the project folder and not a file. He was wasting few mins trying to CAT Backlog.m…

For task dispatch I just ask Claude: please take over task 123. Because of the embedded custom instructions Claude knows exactly how to proceed. Since I never create too big tasks,…

2) AI Agents have issues editing larger files. Correct. One of the instructions that ships with backlog.md is to make the tasks “as big as they would fit in a pr”. I know this is v…

1) How will it work with multiple branches? Simple: using git :) Git allows to fetch certain files from other branches including remote ones without checking out those branches. Th…

Hehe. It was a veerry lucky situation. I sent a message to someone telling that I was working on backlog.md and it turned the name into a link automatically. I wanted to remove the…

Yep. I’m happy to hear that more and more people are converging towards a very similar process as this ends up being the most productive.

No mcp, just custom instructions. When you initialize backlog in a folder it asks you if you want to set up agent’s instructions like CLAUDE.md. It is important to say yes here so …

Will definitely do. I am also planning to run a benchmark with various models to see which one is more effective at building a full product starting from a PRD and using backlog fo…

You’re absolutely right Joking aside there is a npm/bun install -g backlog.md at the top but I can add an extra one in the 5 min intro. I am using Bun’s new fullstack single file b…

For such kind of tasks I would go with Taskmaster AI. It had mcp integration and probably could connect with jira. Backlog is more for smaller projects where you wouldn’t normally …

I threw Claude Code at an existing codebase a few months back and quickly quit— untangling its output was slower than writing from scratch. The fix turned out to be process, not mo…
