Use when the user wants to park an idea or feature request that is not ready for active planning, or says add it to the backlog. Writes a 999.x entry to ROADMAP.md and creates its phase directory for later promotion.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<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>
1. **Read ROADMAP.md** to find existing backlog entries:
```bash
cat .planning/ROADMAP.md
```
2. **Find next backlog number:**
```bash
NEXT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)
```
If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
3. **Create the phase directory:**
```bash
SLUG=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw)
mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
```
4. **Add to ROADMAP.md** under a `## Backlog` section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end:
```markdown
## Backlog
### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG)
**Goal:** [Captured for future planning]
**Requirements:** TBD
**Plans:** 0 plans
Plans:
- [ ] TBD (promote with /gsd-review-backlog when ready)
```
5. **Commit:**
```bash

How to install
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-add-backlog@sha256:9e6c9b574ca4df59The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.e75f220, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
