List backlog items:

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

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.

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)

For items to PROMOTE:

• Create the phase in the active milestone and capture its number (this creates the .planning/phases/{NEW_NUM}-slug directory):

  NEW_NUM=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase add "${DESCRIPTION}" --raw)
  

• Move the accumulated artifacts from 999.x-slug into the new directory, then drop the now-empty backlog directory:

  mv ".planning/phases/999.x-slug/"* ".planning/phases/${NEW_NUM}-slug/" 2>/dev/null
  rmdir ".planning/phases/999.x-slug" 2>/dev/null
  

• Update ROADMAP.md: move the entry from ## Backlog section to the active phase list
• Remove (BACKLOG) marker
• Add appropriate **Depends on:** field

For items to REMOVE:

• Confirm a second time before deleting, stating that this removes the phase directory and its accumulated artifacts recursively:

  rm -rf ".planning/phases/999.x-slug"
  

• Remove the entry from ROADMAP.md ## Backlog section

Commit changes:

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