<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>

Read ROADMAP.md to find existing backlog entries:
```
cat .planning/ROADMAP.md
```
Find next backlog number:
```
NEXT=$(gsd-sdk query phase.next-decimal 999 --raw)
```
If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
Add to ROADMAP.md under a ## Backlog section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end. Write the ROADMAP entry BEFORE creating the directory — this ensures directory existence is always a reliable indicator that the phase is already registered, which prevents false duplicate detection in any hook that checks for existing 999.x directories (#2280):
```
## Backlog

### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG)

**Goal:** [Captured for future planning]
**Requirements:** TBD
**Plans:** 0 plans

Plans:
- [ ] TBD (promote with /gsd-review-backlog when ready)
```

Create the phase directory:

SLUG=$(gsd-sdk query generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw)
mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"

Commit:

gsd-sdk query commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" .planning/ROADMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"

Report:

## 📋 Backlog Item Added

Phase {NEXT}: {description}
Directory: .planning/phases/{NEXT}-{slug}/

This item lives in the backlog parking lot.
Use /gsd-discuss-phase {NEXT} to explore it further.
Use /gsd-review-backlog to promote items to active milestone.

</process> <notes> - 999.x numbering keeps backlog items out of the active phase sequence - Phase directories are created immediately, so /gsd-discuss-phase and /gsd-plan-phase work on them - No `Depends on:` field — backlog items are unsequenced by definition - Sparse numbering is fine (999.1, 999.3) — always uses next-decimal </notes>
