# Project Backlog Compose the [repository-review skill](../repository-review/SKILL.md) with the repository's live issue taxonomy. Discovery and drafting are read-only by default; issue creation and native dependency mutation are a separate, explicitly authorized phase. Local repository discovery requires `git`; live issue reads and authorized writes require `gh`. Use the complete [draft contract](references/draft-contract.md) and exercise the failure boundaries in the [behavioral evaluations](tests/behavioral-evaluations.md). ## Phase 1: Read-only discovery 1. Confirm the local repository and read its instructions. Preserve staged, unstaged, and untracked work exactly as required by the repository-review skill. 1. Resolve the candidate GitHub repository with `gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,url,visibility`; show it to the user, but do not treat discovery as mutation authorization. 1. Run the cross-cutting repository review across source, tests, tooling, CI/CD, security, documentation, generated state, release state, and relevant authorized live behavior. Retain partial scans and unavailable services as evidence gaps. 1. Fetch open and closed issues needed for duplicate analysis, including complete bodies, comments, labels, state, and native `blockedBy` and `blocking` relationships. Search by the underlying problem and evidence, not title similarity alone. 1. Research current primary documentation or upstream source only where it can materially confirm a retained findin...
