import_tasks
Parse plan documents to import tasks into a project backlog for organized task management and future promotion to active work.
Instructions
Parses a plan document and imports tasks to BACKLOG.md (not individual files). Use this to populate the backlog from a roadmap or requirements doc. Tasks stay in BACKLOG until promoted to active work via promote_task.
