SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

backlog items need to be captured and organized outside active milestones, ensuring ideas are not lost and are trackable as 999.x backlog entries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read existing ROADMAP.md to understand current backlog state and ensure consistency.
  • Determine the next backlog number using gsd-sdk and create a new 999.x entry when ready.
  • Create a corresponding directory (e.g., .planning/phases/999-<slug>) with a .gitkeep and commit the change to the roadmap.

Quick Start

Describe your idea and run the gsd-add-backlog command to register it as a 999.x backlog item.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add backlog items to a roadmap outside active milestones?

To add backlog items to a roadmap outside active milestones, capture ideas as 999.x backlog entries. This ensures ideas are not lost and remain trackable before entering active milestones by reading ROADMAP.md and recording new entries.

What is the 999.x numbering convention for product planning?

The 999.x numbering convention for product planning organizes backlog ideas outside active milestones. It computes the next available 999.x backlog number via gsd-sdk to systematically capture, number, and track ideas before active development phases begin.

How do I create phase directories and commit messages for backlog entries?

To create phase directories and commit messages for backlog entries, the system automatically generates a corresponding .planning/phases/999-<slug> directory with a .gitkeep file. It commits the roadmap change alongside this directory creation.

Do I need gsd-sdk to compute the next backlog number?

Yes, you need gsd-sdk to compute the next backlog number. The process reads the existing ROADMAP.md to understand the current backlog state and then uses gsd-sdk to determine the correct sequential 999.x number for the new entry.

What's the best way to track pre-milestone ideas in ROADMAP.md?

The best way to track pre-milestone ideas in ROADMAP.md is registering them as 999.x backlog items. Describe your idea and run the add backlog command to capture, number, and track it consistently within your existing roadmap state.
