How it actually works

Exactly what it does — and when.

1Scan a named directory for five generic maintenance signals
2Deduplicate recurring findings with a seen counter
3Rank candidate backlog items by supplied leverage and confidence
In practice · A maintainer prepares the next backlog review

MEGACYCLE scans one authorized repository for tests, documentation, dependency, TODO, and CI signals. It merges repeated findings and proposes a ranked list; the maintainer rejects irrelevant scanner results and authorizes only work that matches the real project priorities.

This vs the alternative

Why it's clearly worth it.

The shift it creates

Without it
  • Maintenance work is chosen from memory
  • Repeated findings clutter the backlog
  • Scanner output is mistaken for an approved task
With it
  • Scan a named directory for five generic maintenance signals
  • Deduplicate repeated findings with a seen counter
  • Promote recurring themes into new candidate cycles

Use it to…

Real ways people put MEGACYCLE — Self-Growing Backlog Engine to work.

Census maintenance gaps

Scan a named repository for test, documentation, dependency, TODO, and CI signals.

Deduplicate recurring findings

Merge repeats and inspect which themes recur across cycles.

Prepare a backlog review

Rank candidate work, then let the maintainer decide what is valid and authorized.
