What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tomascortereal/claude-code-setup in skills/gsd-review-backlog/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

  1. List backlog items:

    ls -d .planning/phases/999* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backlog items found"
    
  2. 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.

  3. 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)
  4. 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
  5. For items to REMOVE:

    • Delete the phase directory
    • Remove the entry from ROADMAP.md ## Backlog section
  6. Commit changes:

    node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" commit "docs: review backlog — promoted N, removed M" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md
    
  7. 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}
