Steer mode helps you ship faster as an individual. With Delegate you'll use AI more like a team lead.

Should you use one, the other or both?


Hi. I’m the author of backlog.md . Your team did a great job on Vibe Kanban. It looks great and has a cool name. I like to see more tools trying to solve the human-ai agent interaction for building projects.

I wish you all the best with this tool!


Backlog.md is still a bit rough on the edges but is definitely a proof that markdown files and AI Agents work really well together. I started working on it exactly a month ago


Thanks. Let me know if you have any feedback


Didn’t know this tool. Thanks for sharing


I made it configurable and autoCommit is false by default


Thank you so much!


Never heard of taskwarrior. I will check it out. Thanks for sharing


It is so confusing that I had to add custom instructions for Codex telling him that Backlog.md is the project folder and not a file. He was wasting few mins trying to CAT Backlog.md instead of CD


For task dispatch I just ask Claude: please take over task 123.

Because of the embedded custom instructions Claude knows exactly how to proceed.

Since I never create too big tasks, what blows most context are actually the docs and the decisions markdown files.


2) AI Agents have issues editing larger files.

Correct. One of the instructions that ships with backlog.md is to make the tasks “as big as they would fit in a pr”. I know this is very subjective but Claude really gets much better because of this.

You will notice yourself that smaller atomic tasks are the only way for the moment to achieve a high success rate.
