Summary

  • Renames .session-continuity/OUTSTANDING_ITEMS.md to BACKLOG.md everywhere (template, commands, hooks, skill docs, README, CHANGELOG), with an automatic migration path (primer.md's new Step 3c, plus a session-start.sh nudge) for existing installs still on the old filename.
  • Adds a new .session-continuity/ROADMAP.md file — freeform Now/Next/Later strategic direction, distinct from BACKLOG's numbered tactical queue.
  • Adds /session-continuity:help — explains the plugin's purpose and what each of the five files is for; its command list is generated at runtime from each command's own frontmatter so it can't drift.
  • Migrates this repo's own .session-continuity/ instance as proof the migration path works.
  • Bumps 0.21.10.22.0.

Test plan

  • Manual grep/diff invariant checks after every file edit (no automated test harness exists in this repo)
  • shellcheck hooks/session-start.sh clean
  • Manual smoke test of the new session-start.sh elif branch against a scratch repo
  • Manual dry-run of commands/doctor.md's file-existence loop against this repo (all 5 files report EXISTS)
  • Full-repo grep sweep confirms no unintentional leftover OUTSTANDING_ITEMS/"four files"/"six commands" reference
  • Independent task-by-task review (13 implementation tasks, each reviewed by a fresh reviewer) plus a final whole-branch review; 2 Important findings from the final review fixed and re-verified

Design doc for renaming OUTSTANDING_ITEMS.md to BACKLOG.md, adding a
new ROADMAP.md stub, and a new /session-continuity:help command that
explains the plugin's purpose and each file's intent.
Resolve Step 3b/3c contradiction, add missed primer.md Step 7/8
touchpoints, fix file-count arithmetic, and clarify two vague phrases.
14-task plan implementing the approved spec: rename OUTSTANDING_ITEMS.md
to BACKLOG.md with automatic migration, add ROADMAP.md, add
/session-continuity:help, and dogfood the migration on this repo.
Fix nested-fence markdown corruption in Task 3's help.md content block,
resolve an ambiguous step-number instruction in Task 5, align Task 5/13's
migration intro-line rewrite with Task 1's template (avoid redundant
"Backlog...Backlog" phrasing on migrated files), and switch every
grep '...\|...' alternation to grep -E (BSD/macOS grep doesn't support \|).
