How is this different from taskwarrior? I feel the use cases are overlapping (which is a good thing as taskwarrior rewrite in rust is a mess)
Never heard of taskwarrior. I will check it out. Thanks for sharing
Backlog.md – Markdown‑native Task Manager and Kanban visualizer for any Git repo

#52Is there a proper way to use this project without commiting files to git ? I just want to try it out in a project I'm working on, but don't want to put it in the history. What I did is to add the backlog folder into the .gitignore file, but after every command I get a lengthy error about a git command error. And even if I were to add these files to my repository, I would want to add them manually.
I made it configurable and autoCommit is false by default

#53Really nice! Have you thought of interfacing with the todo.txt ecosystem?
Didn’t know this tool. Thanks for sharing

#54That's look fascinating. I will certainly be testing it in the morning! Thanks!
Thanks. Let me know if you have any feedback

#55Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. Had similar success with making some more markdown files to help guide the agent but never would have thought of something this useful. Will try your workflow and backlog on a build this week.
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

Is there an established benchmark for building a full product? - SWE-bench leaderboard: https://www.swebench.com/ - Which metrics for e.g. "SWE-Lancer: a benchmark of freelance software engineering tasks from Upwork"? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43101314 - MetaGPT, MGX: https://github.com/FoundationAgents/MetaGPT : > Software Company as Multi-Agent System > MetaGPT takes a one line requirement as input and o…
You have compiled an interesting list of benchmarks and adjacent research. The implicit question is whether an established benchmark for building a full product exists. After reviewing all this, what is your actual conclusion, or are you asking? Is the takeaway that a comprehensive benchmark exists and we should be using it, or is the takeaway that the problem space is too multifaceted for any single benchmark to be…
The market - actual customers - is probably the best benchmark for a product.
But then outstanding liabilities due to code quality and technical debt aren't costed in by the market.
There are already code quality metrics.
SAST and DAST tools can score or fix code, as part of a LLM-driven development loop.
Formal verification is maybe the best code quality metric.
Is there more than Product-Market fit and infosec liabilities?

#57This seems tailor-made for Org mode! Seeing all those ‘To do’ and ‘Done’ reminds me of it. Did you consider building atop Org mode?

#58What exactly is Markdown-native?
Markdown is used for data storage and transport?

#59Ooh, the idea of having a CLI for the LLM to mark off tasks without having to pollute context by reading the file over and over again is cool!

Thank you so much!
