Skill instructions

Backlog Templates Shared reference for ADO and GitHub work-item template generation, content sanitization, autonomy-tier vocabulary, disclaimer-block placement, and work-item ID conventions used by every planner that emits a backlog handoff. Overview Planners that emit Phase-final backlog work items all need the same dual-format template skeletons, the same content sanitization rules, and the same convention for where to assign work-item IDs. This skill consolidates those shared pieces so each planner instruction file can reference one source instead of restating them. Callers: RAI Planner (rai-planner skill references/backlog-handoff.md) Security Planner (.github/agents/security/security-planner.agent.md; security-specific handoff details in .github/skills/project-planning/security-planning/references/backlog-formats.md) SSSC Planner (.github/instructions/security/sssc-planner.instructions.md) Accessibility Planner (accessibility/accessibility skill references/phases/backlog-handoff.m
