SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backlog items accumulate across planning cycles and require a consistent review process to determine which items should move forward. This skill provides a repeatable workflow to audit backlog entries and promote appropriate items to the active milestone sequence, while handling invalid or stale entries.

Core Features & Use Cases

Review backlog items and extract descriptions, context, and dates from ROADMAP.md.
Promote selected backlog items to the next available active milestone and relocate artifacts (context, research) accordingly.
Maintain ROADMAP.md by updating backlog and active milestone sections and generating a summary report.

Quick Start

Review all backlog items and promote the selected entries into the active milestone sequence.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate backlog review and promote items to active milestones?▼

Backlog review automation extracts descriptions, context, and dates from ROADMAP.md to evaluate entries, promoting selected items into the next active milestone while relocating associated artifacts. It updates the roadmap file and generates a summary report to reflect the workflow changes.

What is the process for moving backlog items into a project roadmap?▼

Moving backlog items into a project roadmap involves auditing accumulated entries, validating their context and dates, and relocating valid artifacts into the active milestone sequence. The process maintains ROADMAP.md by updating both backlog and milestone sections systematically.

Does backlog promotion require a specific repository structure to work?▼

Backlog promotion requires access to the repository structure under .planning and the ROADMAP.md file to function. It uses shine-tools to rename phases and relocate artifacts, ensuring the project planning workflow operates within the established directory framework.

How do I handle invalid or stale entries during a backlog audit?▼

Handling invalid or stale entries during a backlog audit involves reviewing each item's extracted context and dates to determine validity. The workflow filters out outdated entries, ensuring only appropriate items are promoted to milestones while maintaining a clean roadmap.

Can I relocate research artifacts when promoting backlog items to milestones?▼

Relocating research artifacts when promoting backlog items is supported by the workflow. It moves associated context and research files alongside the promoted entries, ensuring all relevant artifacts are correctly positioned within the active milestone directory structure.

What's the best way to update ROADMAP.md after promoting backlog items?▼

The best way to update ROADMAP.md after promotion is through automated roadmap updates that modify both backlog and active milestone sections. The workflow generates a summary report detailing the promoted items and artifact relocations for project tracking.
