What is the (INSERTED) marker in the roadmap?

The (INSERTED) marker is a visual tag added to the ROADMAP.md file to help team members identify which phases were part of the original plan versus which were added as urgent interventions.

Does this tool modify my source code files?

No, it specifically manages the planning infrastructure, including .planning/ROADMAP.md, .planning/STATE.md, and the phase directory structure.

Why does the skill use decimal phases like 72.1?

Decimal phases allow you to insert urgent, unplanned work between existing integer phases (e.g., between Phase 72 and 73) without having to manually renumber every subsequent phase and directory in your project.

Can I insert multiple tasks after the same phase?

Yes, the skill automatically detects existing decimals. If 72.1 already exists, it will calculate and create 72.2 for the next insertion.

Productivity & Workflow

Inserts urgent tasks into development roadmaps using decimal numbering to maintain project flow without renumbering existing phases.

The GSD Urgent Phase Manager is a specialized workflow skill for developers using the Get Shit Done (TÂCHES) methodology. It solves the common problem of 'mid-milestone' discoveries—urgent bug fixes or critical requirements that must be addressed before the next planned phase. By using decimal numbering (e.g., 7.1, 7.2), it injects new work into the logical sequence of a project roadmap, automatically creating the necessary directory structures and updating project state documentation without requiring a full renumbering of subsequent milestones.
