gsd-review-backlog	Review and promote backlog items to active milestone

Review all 999.x backlog items and optionally promote them into the active milestone sequence or remove stale entries.

1. List backlog items:

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

2. 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.

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:

     NEW_NUM=$(node ".agent/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase add "${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:

   node ".agent/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" 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}
