Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering)
SKILL.mdskills/gsd-add-backlog/SKILL.md
GitHub<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.mdFind 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:
