<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=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)
```
If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
3. **Create the phase directory:**
```bash
SLUG=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS")
mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${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 /mindforge-review-backlog when ready)
```
5. **Commit:**
```bash
node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
```
6. **Report:**
```
## 📋 Backlog Item Added
Phase {NEXT}: {description}
Directory: .planning/phases/{NEXT}-{slug}/
This item lives in the backlog parking lot.
