Use when 999.x backlog items need triage, or the user asks to review, promote, or prune the backlog. Shows each item with its accumulated context, promotes chosen ones into the active milestone, and removes stale ones.
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>
Review all 999.x backlog items and optionally promote them into the active
milestone sequence or remove stale entries.
</objective>
<process>
1. **List backlog items:**
```bash
ls -d .planning/phases/999* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backlog items found"
```
2. **Read ROADMAP.md** and extract all 999.x phase entries:
```bash
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:**
- Create the phase in the active milestone and capture its number (this creates the
`.planning/phases/{NEW_NUM}-slug` directory):
```bash
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:
```bash
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-review-backlog@sha256:2579b80e5722d54cThe 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.
