<objective>
Review all 999.x backlog items and optionally promote them into the active
milestone sequence or remove stale entries.
</objective>
<process>
1. **List backlog items:**
```bash
_BACKLOG=( .planning/phases/999* )
if [ -e "${_BACKLOG[0]}" ]; then ls -d "${_BACKLOG[@]}"; else echo "No backlog items found"; fi
```
2. **Read ROADMAP.md** and extract all 999.x phase entries:
```bash
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`:
```bash
_GSD_SHIM_NAME="gsd-tools.cjs"; _GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT="${RUNTIME_DIR:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}"; GSD_TOOLS="${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; _gsd_at() { for _p; do if [ -f "$_p" ]; then GSD_TOOLS="$_p"; return 0; fi; done; return 1; }; _gsd_id_ok() { case "$("$1" runtime-identity --raw 2>/dev/null || true)" in '{"packageName":"@opengsd/gsd-core"'*'}') return 0;; *) return 1;; esac; }; _gsd_homes() { set -- "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}" "${ANTIGRAVITY_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.gemini/antigravity}" "$HOME/.gemini/antigravity-ide" "$HOME/.gemini/antigravity-cli" "${AUGMENT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.augment}" "${CLINE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.cline}" "${CODEBUDDY_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.codebuddy}" "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}" "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-${COPILOT_HOME:-$HOME/.copilot}}" "${CURSOR_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.cursor}" "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}" "${KILO_CONFIG_DIR:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/kilo}" "${KIMI_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.config/agents}" "$HOME/.agents" "${KIMI_CODE_HOME:-$HOME/.kimi-code}" "${OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/opencode}" "${PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR:-$HOME/.pi/agent}" "${QWEN_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.qwen}" "${TRAE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.trae}" "${WINDSURF_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.codeium/windsurf}" "${ZCODE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.zcode}" "${GROK_AGENTS_HOME:-$HOME/.agents}"; for _h; do _gsd_at "$_h/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" && return 0; done; return 1; }; if _gsd_at "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/.codex/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; then gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif _gsd_homes; then gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif unset -f gsd_run; _G="$(command -v gsd_run)"; [ -n "$_G" ] && _gsd_id_ok "$_G"; then GSD_TOOLS="$_G"; gsd_run() { "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; else echo "ERROR: gsd-tools.cjs not found at $GSD_TOOLS and no identity-proving gsd_run is on PATH. Run: npx -y @opengsd/gsd-core@latest --claude --local" >&2; exit 1; fi; GSD_IDENTITY_STATUS=unverified; _gsd_id_ok gsd_run && GSD_IDENTITY_STATUS=ok; export GSD_IDENTITY_STATUS; [ "$GSD_IDENTITY_STATUS" = ok ] || echo "WARNING: \"$GSD_TOOLS\" did not prove it is @opengsd/gsd-core - it is either a different package or an @opengsd/gsd-core older than the runtime-identity verb. See docs/how-to/diagnose-a-foreign-gsd-tools.md" >&2; if [ -n "${CLAUDE_ENV_FILE:-}" ] && [ -n "${GSD_TOOLS:-}" ]; then printf "export PATH='%s':\"\$PATH\"\n" "${GSD_TOOLS%/*}" >> "$CLAUDE_ENV_FILE" 2>/dev/null || true; fi
NEW_NUM=$(gsd_run query 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:**
```bash
gsd_run query 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}
```
