Gsd Review Backlog

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

• header → header
• question → question
• Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
• Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

• AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

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_input is 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: false by 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

1. List backlog items:

   ls -d .planning/phases/999* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backlog items found"
   

2. Read ROADMAP.md and extract all 999.x phase entries:

   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:

   • Find the next sequential phase number in the active milestone
   • Rename the directory from 999.x-slug to {new_num}-slug:

     NEW_NUM=$(node "/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase add "${DESCRIPTION}" --raw)
     

   • Move accumulated artifacts to the new phase directory
   • Update ROADMAP.md: move the entry from ## Backlog section to the active phase list
   • Remove (BACKLOG) marker
   • Add appropriate **Depends on:** field

5. For items to REMOVE:

   • Delete the phase directory
   • Remove the entry from ROADMAP.md ## Backlog section

6. Commit changes:

   node "/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" commit "docs: review backlog — promoted N, removed M" --files .planning/ROADMAP.md
   

7. 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}
