Markdown-based project management for AI agents

Share

A tool for managing project collaboration between humans and AI agents in a git ecosystem. Uses markdown files as the source of truth for backlogs, tasks, and progress tracking. Keeps everything version-controlled and transparent, making it easy to assign work to AI agents and review their contributions alongside human commits.

Backlog.md brings project management into the git workflow by using markdown files as the single source of truth for backlogs, tasks, and sprint planning. It is designed specifically for teams that collaborate with AI agents, providing a structured way to assign work, track progress, and maintain context across both human and AI contributors.

The tool integrates naturally with any git-based workflow and does not require external project management platforms. Tasks live alongside code, making them accessible to AI coding agents that can read, update, and complete work items directly from the repository.
