Find next backlog number:
NEXT=$(node "$HOME/.cursor/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)
If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.
Create the phase directory:
SLUG=$(node "$HOME/.cursor/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" generate-slug "{{GSD_ARGS}}")
mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
