// for draining the backlog

Drain the backlog. While you build the next thing.

Hundreds of GitHub issues. A Linear board full of "small" tweaks. Customer requests you keep meaning to get to. Point Leroy at the backlog and it works through it in priority order — shipping what's safe, flagging what's risky.

The next big thing always wins.

Every week, the important work crowds out the long tail. The small stuff isn't hard — it just never makes the cut. So it compounds, quietly, until the backlog is a graveyard you're afraid to open.

Customers see the gapsThe "small" requests are the ones users actually asked for.

Grooming is its own jobTriaging, labeling, and re-prioritizing eats the time you'd spend shipping.

Momentum hides rotThe longer it sits, the staler the context — and the scarier the fix.
// the handoff

What Leroy clears

Hand it a label, a board, or a milestone. It works top-down by priority, ships what's safe to auto-merge, and routes the risky calls back to you.

Small feature requestsThe "can you also add…" items customers keep asking for.
UI tweaks & polishSpacing, empty states, loading indicators, alignment nits.
Copy & content changesMicrocopy, error messages, email tweaks, label fixes.
Config & setting changesFlags, defaults, env-driven toggles with tests.
Low-priority bugsThe known issues that never quite earned a sprint.
"Good first issues"The exact work you'd hand a junior — handed to Leroy instead.

Your backlog isn't a someday list.
It's a queue Leroy is already working.
