The instruction itself

as written by the author

<objective>

Review all 999.x backlog items and optionally promote them into the active

milestone sequence or remove stale entries.

</objective>

<process>

  • List backlog items:
   ls -d .planning/phases/999* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backlog items found"
  • Read ROADMAP.md and extract all 999.x phase entries:
   cat .planning/ROADMAP.md

Show each backlog item with its description, any accumulated context (CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md), and creation date.

  • Present the list to the user via AskUserQuestion:
  • For each backlog item, show: phase number, description, accumulated artifacts
  • Options per item: Promote (move to active), Keep (leave in backlog), Remove (delete)
  • For items to PROMOTE:
  • Find the next sequential phase number in the active milestone
  • Rename the directory from 999.x-slug to {new_num}-slug:
     NEW_NUM=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase add "${DESCRIPTION}" --raw)
  • Move accumulated artifacts to the new phase directory
  • Update ROADMAP.md: move the entry from ## Backlog section to the active phase list
  • Remove (BACKLOG) marker
  • Add appropriate Depends on: field
  • For items to REMOVE:
  • Delete the phase directory
  • Remove the entry from ROADMAP.md ## Backlog section
  • Commit changes:
   node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" commit "docs: review backlog — promoted N, removed M" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md
  • Report summary:
   ## 📋 Backlog Review Complete

   Promoted: {list of promoted items with new phase numbers}
   Kept: {list of items remaining in backlog}
   Removed: {list of deleted items}

</process>
