SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It reduces the time and risk involved in manually reviewing many backlog phase entries, ensuring important 999.x items get promoted into the active milestone sequence while stale ones are removed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog discovery: Lists all 999.x phase directories and gathers their related roadmap context, descriptions, and accumulated artifacts.
  • Interactive promotion/cleanup: Prompts you to decide, per item, whether to promote, keep, or remove backlog entries.
  • Roadmap consistency updates: Renames promoted phases to the next sequential active number, moves artifacts, updates ROADMAP.md by moving entries out of the Backlog section, removes the (BACKLOG) marker, and adds appropriate dependency metadata.

Quick Start

Ask the system to run the backlog review to review all 999.x items, then promote the ones you approve into the active milestone sequence and remove the ones you want deleted.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage backlog phase entries into active milestones for roadmap planning?▼

Backlog phase triage lists all 999.x items with their roadmap descriptions and creation metadata, prompting you to interactively promote or prune each entry during milestone planning workflows.

What happens to ROADMAP.md when promoting backlog items into the active sequence?▼

Promoting backlog items updates ROADMAP.md by moving entries out of the Backlog section, removing the (BACKLOG) marker, and adding dependency metadata for the active phases.

Can I review and clean up stale 999.x phase directories without losing accumulated artifacts?▼

Yes, the review process gathers accumulated context and artifacts for each 999.x directory before prompting removal, ensuring safe pruning of stale entries while promoted artifacts relocate correctly.

Does backlog review require interactive user selection for every item?▼

Yes, backlog review requires interactive user selection per item, asking you to decide whether to promote, keep, or remove each 999.x phase entry individually during the triage session.

What's the best way to automate directory renaming when promoting backlog phases?▼

Backlog promotion performs deterministic directory renaming by assigning the next sequential active number to promoted phases, relocating their artifacts, and committing a summary of promoted and removed counts.

When should I avoid running a backlog phase triage in milestone planning?▼

Avoid backlog triage when no 999.x phase directories exist or when milestone planning workflows do not use sequential active numbering, as the deterministic renaming and ROADMAP.md updates depend on these structures.
