SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

backlog management for product initiatives is tedious and error-prone; this skill automates creation, organization, and maintenance of backlog items and future-phase roadmaps to save time and reduce manual errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates backlog item generation, phase directory creation, and ROADMAP.md updates.
  • Supports adding backlog items with 999.x numbering and automatically creates corresponding directories under .planning/phases.
  • Use case: a product manager describes a new idea and the tool adds it to the backlog with a generated slug and phase placeholder.

Quick Start

Describe your backlog idea and run the gsd-add-backlog workflow to add it to the backlog.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate backlog creation and phase planning for product development?▼

Backlog creation and phase planning can be automated by generating backlog items with 999.x numbering, creating phase directories under .planning/phases, and updating ROADMAP.md automatically based on your described idea.

What is the best way to add a new product initiative to a structured backlog?▼

Adding a product initiative to a structured backlog is best handled by generating a slug, assigning a 999.x backlog number, and creating a corresponding phase placeholder directory to persist planning artifacts.

Does automated roadmap generation work with existing phase directories?▼

Automated roadmap generation works with structured product development workflows by creating phase directories under .planning/phases and persisting updates directly into the ROADMAP.md file.

How do I update ROADMAP.md when adding new backlog items?▼

Updating ROADMAP.md when adding backlog items happens automatically: the workflow generates the entry, assigns 999.x numbering, creates the phase directory, and writes the updates to the roadmap file.

Can I use this to organize future phase roadmaps without manual numbering?▼

Yes, you can organize future phase roadmaps without manual numbering because the workflow automatically applies 999.x backlog numbering and generates phase placeholders during the creation process.

Do I need any dependencies to automate backlog item generation?▼

No dependencies are required to automate backlog item generation; the workflow independently handles 999.x numbering, phase directory creation, and ROADMAP.md updates within your repository.
