Backlog Grooming

Workflow-driven skill that autonomously manages stale items in Google Tasks.

Lean Philosophy (Principles)

• Kaizen (改善): This skill is an atomic node, broken down into its simplest, smallest component to eliminate waste and ensure perfection.
• Standardized Work (Hyojun Sagyo): This node represents the most efficient, standardized path for this specific task before automation.
• Jidoka (自働化): This node includes autonomous defect detection. It will stop immediately and report if it cannot achieve the expected outcome.

This skill directs the agent to trigger the native programmatic backlog grooming plugin to maintain a clean workspace.

Cognitive Directives

WHEN [Triggered by schedule or user request to groom backlog] THEN [ Execute the following Jidoka-validated loop:

1. Execute Node: Execute the workflow_backlog_grooming plugin tool with empty JSON {} to trigger the grooming process.
2. Verification Step (Jidoka): Check if the tool returns a valid JSON response with {"success": true} or an error message. IF it returns an error or hallucinated output, report the error, wait 3 seconds, and retry (max 3 times). IF it still fails, stop and notify the user. ]

Expected Output

A JSON summary of the groomed tasks returned by the plugin.
