name: thrunt-add-backlog description: Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering) argument-hint: "<description>" allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash
<objective> Add a backlog item to the huntmap 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>-
Read HUNTMAP.md to find existing backlog entries:
cat .planning/HUNTMAP.md -
Find next backlog number:
NEXT=$(node ".github/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
-
Create the phase directory:
SLUG=$(node ".github/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS") mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}" touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep" -
Add to HUNTMAP.md under a
## Backlogsection. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end:## Backlog ### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG) **Goal:** [Captured for future planning] **Hypotheses:** TBD **Plans:** 0 plans Plans: - [ ] TBD (promote with /thrunt-review-backlog when ready) -
Commit:
node ".github/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/HUNTMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep" -
