SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backlog ideas often get lost in unstructured notes and ad-hoc discussions; this skill formalizes new backlog ideas into trackable backlog phases with deterministic numbering and integrated roadmap updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create backlog entries with deterministic 999.x numbering and a dedicated phase directory.
  • Update ROADMAP.md to reflect new backlog items under a dedicated "Backlog" section.
  • Provide an auditable artifact and ready-to-discuss backlog entry that can be promoted to an active milestone.

Quick Start

Describe the backlog item you want to add and run the qsd-add-backlog command to file it into the backlog parking lot.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add backlog items to a roadmap parking lot?

Backlog items are added by reading the roadmap file, computing a deterministic 999.x phase number, creating a phase directory, and updating the roadmap file. This captures ideas requiring durable traceability before active planning.

What is the best way to capture unstructured roadmap ideas for later planning?

Capturing roadmap ideas involves formalizing them into trackable backlog phases with deterministic 999.x numbering. This prevents ideas from getting lost in unstructured notes by creating an auditable artifact ready to discuss for milestone promotion.

How does deterministic backlog numbering work for roadmap phases?

Deterministic backlog numbering works by computing the next available 999.x identifier for new backlog phases. This ensures each captured idea receives a unique, traceable reference when its phase directory is created and the roadmap is updated.

Do I need an existing ROADMAP.md file to create backlog phase directories?

An existing ROADMAP.md file is required to create backlog phase directories. The process reads this file to compute the next backlog number, creates the phase directory under the planning folder, and updates the file with the new entry.

Can I promote a backlog entry to an active milestone after capturing it?

Promoting a backlog entry to an active milestone is supported after capture. The process creates an auditable, ready-to-discuss backlog phase artifact that can be promoted when the idea becomes ready for active planning.
