Steps

1. Check that BACKLOG/ exists. If not, tell the user to run /backlog-init first and stop.

2. Calculate the next ID by scanning files (NEVER read INDEX.md for the ID):

   • List all files in BACKLOG/FEATURES/PENDING/ and BACKLOG/FEATURES/DONE/
   • Extract all numbers from FEAT-XXX.md filenames
   • Next ID = max number found + 1 (or 001 if no files exist)
   • Format: FEAT-XXX (zero-padded to 3 digits)

3. Analyze the description to determine:

   • Priorite (Critique / Haute / Moyenne / Basse)
   • Complexite (XS / S / M / L / XL)
   • Tags (free-form, relevant to the feature)

4. Check for external documentation needs: If the feature involves a third-party library, API, or service (e.g. Stripe, Firebase, AWS SDK, a specific framework), note in the ticket that the relevant documentation should be consulted before starting implementation. Add a line in the description: 📖 Consulter: [doc URL or doc name].

5. Identify affected files: Based on the description and your knowledge of the codebase, determine which files will need to be created or modified. List actual paths. For new files, indicate (new). For uncertain candidates, add (?). NEVER leave (A determiner).

6. Write specific acceptance criteria: Describe the observable behavior the feature must produce. Each criterion should be independently verifiable. Example: "La commande /foo cree un fichier dans ~/.claude/commands/" instead of "La feature marche".

7. Write actionable test steps: List the exact commands or scenarios to validate the feature works. Reference existing test infrastructure when applicable.

8. Create BACKLOG/FEATURES/PENDING/FEAT-XXX.md using this format:

   # FEAT-XXX: [Short title derived from description]
   
   **Type:** Feature
   **Statut:** A faire
   **Priorite:** [determined]
   **Complexite:** [estimated]
   **Tags:** [relevant]
   **Depends on:** none
   **Blocked by:** —
   **Date creation:** [today YYYY-MM-DD]
   
   ---
   
   ## Description
   [User's description, enriched with context and design considerations]
   
   ## Fichiers concernes
   - `path/to/file.ext` — [create/modify, why]
   
   ## Criteres d'acceptation
   - [ ] [Specific observable behavior]
   
   ## Tests de validation
   - [ ] [Exact command or verification scenario]
   

9. Regenerate INDEX.md — run the full /backlog-status logic (scan all tickets, rewrite INDEX.md entirely, display stats).

10. Confirm with the ticket ID and path.

Important

• Do NOT start implementing the feature — just create the ticket.
