SDD: Backlog Grooming

Communication: User's language. Docs: English.

Purpose

Interactive grooming session: prioritize → refine spec → create design → generate tasks.

Pipeline

READ BACKLOG → PRIORITIZE → SELECT FEATURE → REFINE SPEC → CREATE DESIGN → GENERATE TASKS → MOVE TO TODO

Phase 1: Load Context

Read: roadmap.md, constitution.md List features by status: backlog, todo, in-progress, done

Phase 2: Display Status

## 📊 Feature Status

### 🚧 In Progress (n)
- feature — summary

### 📋 Todo (n)
- feature — summary

### 📝 Backlog (n)
- feature — summary [P0/P1/P2]

Phase 3: Action Selection

AskUserQuestion: "Що хочеш зробити?"

  1. Переглянути пріоритети
  2. Взяти фічу в роботу
  3. Додати нову фічу
  4. Видалити фічу
  5. Завершити grooming

Phase 4: Feature Selection

Show backlog with: Name, Spec status, Design status, Dependencies

| # | Feature | Spec | Design | Dependencies |
|---|---------|------|--------|--------------|
| 1 | auth | ✅ | ❌ | none |
| 2 | transactions | ✅ | ❌ | auth |

Phase 5: Spec Refinement

If no spec or needs update:

  • Show existing spec
  • Ask clarifying questions
  • Call faion-writing-specifications if needed

Phase 6: Design Creation

If spec approved:

  • Call faion-writing-design-docs
  • Present for review

Phase 7: Task Generation

If design approved:

  • Call faion-writing-implementation-plan
  • Call faion-task-creator-agent for each task
  • Present tasks for review

Phase 8: Move to Todo

If approved:

mv features/backlog/{feature}/ features/todo/{feature}/

Report: "✅ Фіча готова! /faion-execute-task {project}/{feature} TASK_001"

Feature Lifecycle

backlog/ → todo/ → in-progress/ → done/
   ↓         ↓           ↓           ↓

Integration

Called from /faion-net or directly. Calls: faion-writing-specifications, faion-writing-design-docs, faion-writing-implementation-plan, faion-task-creator-agent

Anti-patterns

  • ❌ Skip spec refinement
  • ❌ Create tasks without design
  • ❌ Move to todo without all artifacts
  • ❌ Take feature with unsatisfied dependencies
