A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-review-backlog. - Treat all user text after
$gsd-review-backlogas{{GSD_ARGS}}. - If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}}as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header→headerquestion→question- Options formatted as
"Label" — description→{label: "Label", description: "description"} - Generate
idfrom header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2])→ singlerequest_user_inputwith multiple entries inquestions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_inputis rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Direct mapping:
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Task(model="...")→ omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)fork_context: falseby default — GSD agents load their own context via<files_to_read>blocks
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids)for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT,PLAN COMPLETE,SUMMARY, etc. close_agent(id)after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>
-
List backlog items:
bashls -d .planning/phases/999* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backlog items found" -
Read ROADMAP.md and extract all 999.x phase entries:
bashcat .planning/ROADMAP.mdShow each backlog item with its description, any accumulated context (CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md), and creation date.
-
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)
-
For items to PROMOTE:
- Find the next sequential phase number in the active milestone
- Rename the directory from
999.x-slugto{new_num}-slug:bashNEW_NUM=$(node "/mnt/local-analysis/workspace-hub/.codex/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
## Backlogsection to the active phase list - Remove
(BACKLOG)marker - Add appropriate
**Depends on:**field
-
For items to REMOVE:
- Delete the phase directory
- Remove the entry from ROADMAP.md
## Backlogsection
-
Commit changes:
bashnode "/mnt/local-analysis/workspace-hub/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" commit "docs: review backlog — promoted N, removed M" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md -
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}
