What it does
Gsd Add Backlog is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when the user wants to park an idea or feature request that is not ready for active planning, or says add it to the backlog. Writes a 999.x entry to ROADMAP.md and creates its phase directory for later promotion.
Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to park an idea
- Feature request that is not ready for active planning
- Says add it to the backlog
Example prompts
- “/gsd-add-backlog”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read ROADMAP.md to find existing backlog entries
- Find next backlog number
- Create the phase directory
- Add to ROADMAP.md under a ## Backlog section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end
- Commit
- Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ddb559. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Gsd Add Backlog loads about 587 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 129 words (~587 tokens).
“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.”
