What it does
Use when the user wants to park an idea or feature request that is not ready for active planning, or says add it to the backlog. Writes a 999.x entry to ROADMAP.md and creates its phase directory for later promotion.
<objective>
Add a backlog item to the roadmap using 999.x numbering. Backlog items are
unsequenced ideas that aren't ready for active planning, they live outside
the normal phase sequence and accumulate context over time.
</objective>
<process>
-
Read ROADMAP.md to find existing backlog entries:
cat .planning/ROADMAP.md -
Find next backlog number:
NEXT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
-
Create the phase directory:
SLUG=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw) mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}" touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep" -
Add to ROADMAP.md under a
## Backlogsection. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end:## Backlog ### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG) **Goal:** [Captured for future planning] **Requirements:** TBD **Plans:** 0 plans Plans: - [ ] TBD (promote with /gsd-review-backlog when ready) -
Commit:
node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT}, ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep" -
Report:
## 📋 Backlog Item Added Phase {NEXT}: {description} Directory: .planning/phases/{NEXT}-{slug}/ This item lives in the backlog parking lot. Use /gsd-discuss-phase {NEXT} to explore it further. Use /gsd-review-backlog to promote items to active milestone.
