backlog-runner

A tool for letting coding agents work through a task list.

Command-line tool, open source, 2026

I made backlog-runner so I wouldn’t have to hand Codex or Claude each task separately. It plans work, runs agents in separate Git working copies, and tracks their progress.

Tasks live in YAML files, with a readable backlog report alongside them. Each project can choose its agents, instructions, and checks. It’s a TypeScript command-line tool and library.
