Ergo keeps an implementation backlog in the repository. Agents create tasks, order them with dependencies, claim ready work, and record outcomes through direct commands. Humans see the same backlog. A repository lock keeps concurrent claims and mutations safe. Ergo is deliberately small: tasks, epics, dependencies, lifecycle state, and results. Its transaction and snapshot records are plain, git-friendly JSONL. Inspired by beads (bd), with a smaller command and storage model. Install macOS with Homebrew: Any supported platform with Go: Add a short repository instruction for your coding agent: Use Ergo to manage the implementation backlog. Run ergo --help and ergo quickstart to learn it. The repository also ships an Ergo backlog-planning skill for shaping and executing larger backlogs. Browse in VS Code Ergo Backlog gives humans a clear, read-only view of the same repository backlog used by coding agents. Open .ergo/backlog.jsonl to scan active work, see which tasks are ready or waiting, and follow the structure of an epic without reading the event log. Run Ergo: Backlog from the Command Palette to find a task or epic by title or six-character ID: Select an item to open its state, dependencies, and body as a readable Markdown preview: Install the CLI first, then install Ergo Backlog from the VS Code Marketplace. The extension requires Ergo 4.2.0 or later and is available as a Preview.
