idea is a plain-Markdown backlog tracker for AI-assisted development — it captures and manages a per-repo backlog in a single fab/backlog.md file, worktree-aware and queryable from the CLI. It’s the same file fab-kit’s /fab-new reads to start a change, so a captured idea flows straight into the planning pipeline. If you run multiple coding agents in parallel, idea is where work waits its turn — no app to open, no database to query, just a file you can cat, grep, and git diff.

Install

curl -fsSL https://shll.ai/install | sh -s -- idea

Installs shll + idea via Homebrew — or install the whole toolkit.

How it fits

idea feeds the pipeline: a backlog item becomes a change in fab-kit via /fab-new, which runs inside an isolated wt worktree. Watch what the whole run costs with tu.
