Create Queue

Generate the next batch of prioritized work items.

Purpose

This is Step 4 of the AI-Driven Engineering workflow. The queue contains the next ~10 actionable work items prioritized from the roadmap and progress documents. This step is repeated whenever the current queue is exhausted.

Prerequisites

• docs/aide/vision.md must exist
• docs/aide/roadmap.md must exist
• docs/aide/progress.md must exist

Instructions

Read docs/aide/vision.md, docs/aide/roadmap.md, and docs/aide/progress.md, then create a prioritized queue of work items.

Requirements

1. Next logical items — select the next ~10 items based on roadmap priority and current progress
2. No duplicates — check existing queues in docs/aide/queue/queue-*.md to avoid re-queuing completed or already-queued items
3. Sequential numbering — work item numbers must be sequential across all queues. Check existing queues to find the highest item number used, then start from the next number. For example, if queue-001.md ends at item 10, queue-002.md starts at item 11.
4. Testable items — each item must be testable locally
5. Week-sized batch — the total work in the queue should be deliverable in about a week
6. Consistent format — each item must follow this format so other commands can parse it:

   ### Item NNN: Short Title
   Brief description of the scope and deliverables for this item.
   

   Where NNN is the sequential item number (e.g., 001, 012, 023).

Queue Naming

Name the queue file sequentially: queue-001.md, queue-002.md, etc.

Output

Save the queue to docs/aide/queue/queue-NNN.md (where NNN is the next sequential number).

Next Step

Select an item from the queue and start a new chat session. Run /speckit.aide.create-item with the item description to create a detailed work item specification.
