Add Backlog Item Workflow
Invoked by /gsd:capture --backlog (commands/gsd/capture.md).
Adds an idea to the ROADMAP.md backlog parking lot 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.
Step 1: Read ROADMAP.md
Check for existing backlog entries:
cat .planning/ROADMAP.md
Step 2: Find next backlog number
# SDK resolution: prefer local gsd-tools.cjs, fall back to global gsd-sdk (#3668)
GSD_TOOLS="${RUNTIME_DIR:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs"
if [ -f "$GSD_TOOLS" ]; then
GSD_SDK="node $GSD_TOOLS"
elif command -v gsd-sdk >/dev/null 2>&1; then
GSD_SDK="gsd-sdk"
else
echo "ERROR: gsd-sdk not found on PATH and $GSD_TOOLS does not exist." >&2
echo "Run: npx -y @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@latest --claude --local" >&2
exit 1
fi
NEXT=$($GSD_SDK query phase.next-decimal 999 --raw)
If no 999.x phases exist yet, phase.next-decimal returns 999.1. Sparse numbering
is fine (e.g. 999.1, 999.3) — always use phase.next-decimal, never guess.
Step 3: Write ROADMAP entry
Write the ROADMAP entry BEFORE creating the directory. Directory existence is a reliable indicator that the phase is already registered, which prevents false duplicate detection in any hook that checks for existing 999.x directories (#2280).
Add under a ## Backlog section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end
of ROADMAP.md:
## Backlog
### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG)
**Goal:** [Captured for future planning]
**Requirements:** TBD
**Plans:** 0 plans
Plans:
- [ ] TBD (promote with /gsd:review-backlog when ready)
Step 4: Create the phase directory
Apply the project_code prefix (if set in .planning/config.json) so the backlog directory name is consistent with all other phase-creation paths:
SLUG=$($GSD_SDK query generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw)
PROJECT_CODE=$($GSD_SDK query config-get project_code --raw 2>/dev/null || echo "")
PREFIX=$([ -n "$PROJECT_CODE" ] && echo "${PROJECT_CODE}-" || echo "")
PHASE_DIR=".planning/phases/${PREFIX}${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
mkdir -p "${PHASE_DIR}"
touch "${PHASE_DIR}/.gitkeep"
Step 5: Commit
$GSD_SDK query commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md "${PHASE_DIR}/.gitkeep"
Step 6: Report
## 📋 Backlog Item Added
Phase {NEXT}: {description}
Directory: {PHASE_DIR}/
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.
