<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>

Read ROADMAP.md to find existing backlog entries:
```
cat .planning/ROADMAP.md
```

Find next backlog number:

NEXT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/qsd/bin/qsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)

If no 999.x phases exist, start at 999.1.

Create the phase directory:

SLUG=$(node "$HOME/.claude/qsd/bin/qsd-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS" --raw)
mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"

</process> <notes> - 999.x numbering keeps backlog items out of the active phase sequence - Phase directories are created immediately, so /qsd-discuss-phase and /qsd-plan-phase work on them - No `Depends on:` field — backlog items are unsequenced by definition - Sparse numbering is fine (999.1, 999.3) — always uses next-decimal </notes>
