SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you review parked backlog items, decide which ones should enter the active milestone, and clean out stale entries without losing roadmap continuity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog inventory: Lists all 999.x backlog phases and surfaces their descriptions, context files, and creation dates.
  • Promotion workflow: Renumbers approved items into the active milestone, moves artifacts, and updates the roadmap entry accordingly.
  • Removal workflow: Deletes obsolete backlog phases and removes them from the roadmap to keep planning clean.
  • Use case: A project lead can review a large queue of deferred phases, promote the highest-priority ones, and discard outdated work in one guided pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review parked backlog phases and decide which items to promote or remove?

A backlog promotion workflow renumbers approved 999.x phase directories into the active milestone, moves associated artifacts, and updates the roadmap entry accordingly. This ensures deferred phases integrate cleanly into current planning without losing accumulated context.

What is the best way to clean out stale roadmap entries without losing planning state?

To promote backlog items into an active milestone, renumber approved 999.x phase directories, move their accumulated context and artifacts, and update the roadmap entry. This workflow ensures deferred phases integrate cleanly into current planning.

Can I renumber deferred phase directories and update the roadmap in one pass?

Yes. You can execute a guided review pass that handles directory renaming, artifact movement, roadmap updates, and controlled commit generation for multiple items simultaneously, ensuring planning state is preserved throughout the renumbering process.

Does this backlog maintenance workflow generate commits automatically?

Yes. The workflow generates controlled commits automatically while renumbering directories, moving artifacts, and updating the roadmap, ensuring that promotion and removal actions are version-controlled and planning state is preserved.

When should I prune backlog phases instead of keeping them parked?

You should prune backlog phases when deferred items become obsolete or no longer align with project goals. Removing these stale entries from the roadmap prevents planning clutter and keeps the active milestone focused on relevant work.
