Backlog review and promotion into active milestones, plus cleanup of stale entries, to keep the project timeline current and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Promote backlog items: move 999.x backlog entries to the active milestone sequence with proper renaming.
  • Artifact and context transfer: relocate associated context (CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md) and artifacts when a item is promoted.
  • Roadmap synchronization: update ROADMAP.md to reflect active milestones and remove backlog markers.
  • Audit and guardrails: present clear options for each item and apply changes only after confirmation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I promote backlog items to active milestones in project management?

To promote backlog items to active milestones, the Skill identifies backlog entries in the 999.x range, reads ROADMAP.md for context and dates, and renames directories while moving associated artifacts to activate them.

What is the best way to groom a project backlog and update a roadmap?

Backlog grooming and roadmap synchronization involve listing backlog items, presenting options for each entry, and applying directory renames and ROADMAP.md updates only after explicit confirmation.

Can I transfer context and research artifacts when promoting a backlog item?

Yes, promoting a backlog item relocates associated context files like CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md alongside other artifacts to ensure active milestones retain their full research history.

How do I clean up stale backlog entries from my project timeline?

Cleaning up stale backlog entries requires reviewing the 999.x range items, presenting clear options for each, and removing outdated markers from ROADMAP.md to keep the project timeline actionable.

Does backlog review require manual updates to ROADMAP.md?

No, backlog review automatically synchronizes ROADMAP.md by reflecting active milestones and removing backlog markers, but changes are applied only after you confirm the presented options.

What are the limitations of automating backlog promotion with directory renaming?

Automated backlog promotion relies on the 999.x directory naming convention and ROADMAP.md structure, meaning projects without these specific formats cannot utilize the automated grooming workflow.
