List tasks from backlog. Returns most recently updated items first. Default: shows only active work (open/in_progress/blocked), limited to 20 items. Use counts=true to check if more items exist beyond the limit.

Get full details by ID. Accepts task IDs (TASK-0001, EPIC-0002) or MCP resource URIs (mcp://backlog/resources/design.md). Works for any item regardless of status.

Create a new item in the backlog.

Update an existing item. For editing the markdown body, use write_resource with str_replace.

Delete an item permanently.

Search across all backlog content — tasks, epics, and resources. Returns relevance-ranked results with match context. Use this for discovery; use backlog_list for filtering by status/type.

Edit the markdown body of an existing task or epic. All entity creation goes through backlog_create.

• The append command will add content to the end of the body, automatically adding a newline if needed. Notes for using the str_replace command:

• The old_str parameter should match EXACTLY one or more consecutive lines from the original body. Be mindful of whitespaces!

• If the old_str parameter is not unique in the body, the replacement will not be performed. Include enough context to make it unique.

• The new_str parameter should contain the edited lines that should replace the old_str

Dense session-start briefing: active tasks, current epics, recent completions (with evidence snippets), and recent activity. No focal entity required — use this at the start of every session to understand what you were working on. Optional scope narrows to a folder (for project-scoped briefing), milestone, or epic.

Recall episodic memories — short digest records captured when tasks complete or artifacts are created. Distinct from backlog_search (which queries live entities). Use this to answer "what did I finish recently about X?" or "what artifacts live under FLDR-0001?" — the memories point back to entities via metadata.entity_id.
