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

FAQPage Schema
How do I promote backlog items into an active project milestone?▼

To promote backlog items, review the 999.x entries in your ROADMAP.md, select items to promote, and rename their backlog phase numbers to the next active milestone sequence to update the roadmap accordingly.

What is the best way to prune stale entries from a project backlog?▼

Pruning stale backlog entries involves listing backlog directories, reading ROADMAP.md to validate current priorities, and removing outdated items from the queue to keep the project plan current.

When do I need to review and update my project roadmap?▼

You need to review and update your project roadmap during weekly planning sessions when backlog items accumulate and drift from active milestones, requiring validation before promotion or removal.

Can I use this backlog review process for projects using a 999.x directory structure?▼

Yes, this backlog review process is explicitly designed for projects using the 999.x backlog structure, supporting listing directories, reading ROADMAP.md, and renaming backlog phases to new milestone numbers.

How does updating ROADMAP.md work when moving items to a new milestone?▼

Updating ROADMAP.md works by reading the file to extract 999.x backlog entries, renaming selected backlog phases to the next active milestone numbers, and applying those changes directly to the roadmap file.

What are the limitations of managing backlog promotion manually without a structured review?▼

Without a structured review, backlog items accumulate and drift from the active roadmap, making it difficult to track priorities and requiring manual validation to ensure the plan reflects current project goals.
