At a glance

A skill your agent uses when 999.x backlog items need triage, or the user asks to review, promote, or prune the backlog.

  • Works in 7 steps: List backlog items → Read ROADMAP.md and extract all 999.x… → Present the list to the user via… → …
  • 999.x backlog items need triage
  • Calls node
  • The user asks to review

What it does

Gsd Review Backlog is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when 999.x backlog items need triage, or the user asks to review, promote, or prune the backlog. Shows each item with its accumulated context, promotes chosen ones into the active milestone, and removes stale ones.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. 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

  • 999.x backlog items need triage
  • The user asks to review
  • Prune the backlog

Example prompts

  • “/gsd-review-backlog”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. List backlog items
  2. Read ROADMAP.md and extract all 999.x phase entries
  3. Present the list to the user via AskUserQuestion
  4. For items to PROMOTE
  5. For items to REMOVE
  6. Commit changes
  7. Report summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1a642ae. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion

    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 Review Backlog loads about 631 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~631

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, AskUserQuestion

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 195 words (~631 tokens).

“Review all 999.x backlog items and optionally promote them into the active milestone sequence or remove stale entries.”
