<objective> Add a backlog item to the huntmap 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>
  1. Read HUNTMAP.md to find existing backlog entries:

    cat .planning/HUNTMAP.md
    
  2. Find next backlog number:

    NEXT=$(node ".github/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 999 --raw)
    

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

  3. Create the phase directory:

    SLUG=$(node ".github/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$ARGUMENTS")
    mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}"
    touch ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
    
  4. Add to HUNTMAP.md under a

    ## Backlog
    section. If the section doesn't exist, create it at the end:

    ## Backlog
    
    ### Phase {NEXT}: {description} (BACKLOG)
    
    **Goal:** [Captured for future planning]
    **Hypotheses:** TBD
    **Plans:** 0 plans
    
    Plans:
    - [ ] TBD (promote with /thrunt-review-backlog when ready)
    
  5. Commit:

    node ".github/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" commit "docs: add backlog item ${NEXT} — ${ARGUMENTS}" --files .planning/HUNTMAP.md ".planning/phases/${NEXT}-${SLUG}/.gitkeep"
    
  6. Report:

    ## 📋 Backlog Item Added
    
    Phase {NEXT}: {description}
    Directory: .planning/phases/{NEXT}-{slug}/
    
    This item lives in the backlog parking lot.
    Use /hunt-shape-hypothesis {NEXT} to explore it further.
    Use /thrunt-review-backlog to promote items to active milestone.
    
</process> <notes> - 999.x numbering keeps backlog items out of the active phase sequence - Phase directories are created immediately, so /hunt-shape-hypothesis and /hunt-plan 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>
