SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backlog governance is often manual, slow, and error‑prone; this skill standardizes the process to review backlog items and promote selected entries to the active milestone, preserving context and history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List backlog items by reading .planning/phases/999* entries and the ROADMAP.md file, showing each item with its description, any accumulated context (CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md), and creation date.
  • Promote selected backlog items to the next active milestone by renaming the directory from 999.x-slug to a new milestone number and slug, moving associated artifacts, and updating ROADMAP.md accordingly.
  • Update ROADMAP.md to reflect promoted items, remove backlog markers, and record the promotion rationale via a commit message.

Quick Start

Start by listing backlog items, review their descriptions and context, and promote selected entries to the next milestone using the standard gsd-tools workflow.
