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.
