- Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering)
- argument-hint:
- <description>
<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.md -
Find next backlog number:
NEXT=$(gsd-sdk query phase.next-decimal 999 --raw)If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
-
Add to ROADMAP.md under a
## Backlogsection. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end. Write the ROADMAP entry BEFORE creating the directory — this ensures directory existence is always a reliable indicator that the phase is already registered, which prevents false duplicate detection in any hook that checks for existing 999.x directories (#2280):## Backlog ### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG) **Goal:** [Captured for future planning] **Requirements:** TBD **Plans:** 0 plans Plans: - [ ] TBD (promote with /gsd:review-backlog when ready) -
Create the phase directory:
SLUG=$(gsd-sdk query generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw) mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}" touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep" -
Commit:
gsd-sdk query commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" .planning/ROADMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep" -
Report:
## 📋 Backlog Item Added Phase {NEXT}: {description} Directory: .planning/phases/{NEXT}-{slug}/ 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.

tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Manages the founder's survey-based validation — crafting the right questions, deploying a survey to the internet, and analyzing results against hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to run a survey, create survey questions, validate hypotheses at scale, check how a survey is going, understand whether a survey is the right tool right now, or deploy a question set to get quantitative signal. Also bring this up if you believe that creating a survey to collect quantitative evidence may be useful at this point.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Guides the founder through designing and optionally building the simplest MVP or prototype that validates their current hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to build something to test assumptions, discusses what to build next, wants to interpret results from a live MVP, or is deciding whether the current approach is still right. Also use when a founder proposes something to build — the skill will check whether the proposed form is the simplest thing that generates honest signal.
