You can add backlog ideas to a roadmap by using a 999.x numbering scheme to formally capture goals, requirements, and plans in a dedicated phase directory, keeping unready ideas parked and organized separately from active phases.

The 999.x numbering scheme is a formal process for parking unready ideas, where the system computes the next backlog number, updates ROADMAP.md, creates a phase directory, and commits the changes to keep ideas structured for future planning.

You can automate updating ROADMAP.md and creating phase directories by running a workflow that reads the roadmap, computes the next 999.x backlog number, applies the changes, and commits them directly to your repository.

No, adding backlog items does not require manual git commits, as the workflow fully automates the process of updating ROADMAP.md, creating the dedicated phase directory, and committing the changes directly.

You should use a dedicated backlog phase directory when you have ideas not ready for active planning, allowing you to document goals, requirements, and plans without cluttering the main active roadmap phases.
