gsd-review-backlog

To review a large backlog, you can list all 999.x phase directories, evaluate their roadmap context and artifacts, and interactively promote, keep, or remove each item to maintain an active milestone sequence.

The best way to promote ready backlog items is to rename phase directories to the next sequential number, migrate accumulated artifacts, remove backlog markers, and update the roadmap to reflect the new milestone plan.

Backlog phase promotion handles dependencies by finalizing metadata during the refactoring process, renaming directories to sequential numbers, and moving artifacts to maintain the correct milestone sequence.

Yes, you can clean up a 999.x backlog directory by reviewing each phase against its roadmap context and choosing to remove stale entries, which deletes the backlog markers and commits the changes.

No specific dependencies are required, as the backlog curation uses standard filesystem operations and roadmap edits to rename directories, move artifacts, and commit changes via provided tools.

You should use an interactive backlog review workflow when stale or ready phases must be reorganized into an active sequence and you need to evaluate contextual artifacts before deciding to promote or remove items.
