How do I promote backlog phase items into active milestones in ROADMAP.md?

Backlog review works by listing all 999.x phase directories and accumulated artifacts, prompting you to Promote, Keep, or Remove each item, and automatically updating the roadmap and phase directories based on your decisions.

How do I clean up stale entries from a project roadmap?

Cleaning up stale entries involves removing outdated backlog phase directories and deleting their corresponding entries from ROADMAP.md, ensuring your project plan stays accurate and free of deprecated milestones.

Can I use documentation automation to manage phase dependencies during milestone planning?

Yes, documentation automation supports milestone planning by adding dependency fields to promoted phase directories, automatically updating ROADMAP.md, and committing the structural changes via gsd-sdk.

What is the best way to triage accumulated artifacts in backlog phase directories?

The best way to triage accumulated artifacts is through an interactive review of 999.x backlog phases, allowing you to systematically decide item-by-item whether to promote entries into active milestones or remove them entirely.

Do I need gsd-sdk to commit roadmap changes from backlog review?

Yes, gsd-sdk is required to commit the updated roadmap changes after promoting milestones, renaming directories, and fixing dependency metadata during the backlog review workflow.
