SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gsd-sdk.

What problem does it solve?

Reviews a large backlog of 999.x phase items, then helps you decide which ones should be promoted into the active milestone sequence while optionally removing stale entries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog enumeration and inspection: Lists 999.x phase directories, including accumulated artifacts such as CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md, alongside descriptions and creation dates.
  • User-driven promotion or retention: Presents each backlog item to the user for Promote, Keep, or Remove decisions.
  • Automated phase promotion workflow: Renumbers/promotes selected items into the next sequential active phase, moves artifacts, updates ROADMAP.md, and removes backlog markers.

Quick Start

Run gsd-review-backlog to review all 999.x backlog phases, promote chosen items into the next active milestone, and commit the updated ROADMAP.

Frequently Asked Questions about gsd-review-backlog

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

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

To promote backlog items, the skill enumerates 999.x phase directories, asks you to Promote, Keep, or Remove each item, then renumbers chosen phases sequentially, moves artifacts, updates ROADMAP.md, and commits changes via gsd-sdk.

What is the best way to clean up stale entries in a 999.x backlog directory?▼

Cleaning up stale backlog entries is handled through user-driven retention decisions, allowing you to selectively Remove accumulated artifacts like CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md while promoting relevant items into the active milestone.

Does updating the ROADMAP.md with phase promotion require manual renumbering?▼

Phase promotion does not require manual renumbering, as the workflow automatically renumbers promoted items into the next sequential active phase, updates ROADMAP.md with dependency metadata, and removes backlog markers.

Can I review backlog artifacts and creation dates before deciding to promote or remove them?▼

You can review backlog artifacts and creation dates during backlog enumeration, which lists 999.x phase directories alongside accumulated artifacts like CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md, descriptions, and creation dates before promotion decisions.

Do I need gsd-sdk to commit ROADMAP.md changes during milestone planning?▼

You need gsd-sdk to commit ROADMAP.md changes, as it is a required dependency for executing the final commit operation after backlog directories are inspected, renumbered, and updated with dependency metadata.
