Insert Decimal Objective for Urgent Work

VerifiedCaution

Inserts a decimal objective (e.g., 72.1) between existing integer objectives to accommodate urgent work discovered mid-milestone. Preserves the logical sequence of planned objectives without renumbering the entire roadmap. Use only when explicitly requested for structural roadmap changes.

Our review

Inserts urgent work between existing objectives using decimal numbering (e.g., 72.1) to preserve the logical sequence of the roadmap.

Strengths

  • Adds urgent work without renumbering the entire roadmap.
  • Maintains consistency and readability of the plan.
  • Includes automated validation gates to prevent input errors.
  • Leverages a dedicated workflow for reliable execution.

Limitations

  • Requires that existing objectives are numbered with integers (1, 2, 3...).
  • Suitable only for ad-hoc insertions, not major restructures.
  • Depends on proper maintenance of ROADMAP.md and STATE.md files.
When to use it

When urgent work emerges mid-milestone and must be inserted between two existing objectives without altering the overall sequence.

When not to use it

For major roadmap overhauls or when full renumbering would be cleaner than accumulating decimal insertions.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill uses Bash for file manipulation (inserting text into ROADMAP.md and STATE.md) which is legitimate for its purpose but introduces risk if the workflow is subverted or arguments are not properly sanitised. No destructive or exfiltrating patterns were observed, but the presence of Bash warrants caution.

Findings
  • Skill allows Bash execution, which could perform arbitrary file writes and command invocation beyond roadmap updates if misused.
  • Arguments are passed directly to the workflow; insufficient validation in the skill definition itself may allow unexpected input to reach Bash.

Examples

Insert urgent bug fix after objective 72
df:insert-objective 72 "Fix critical login bug discovered during testing"
Insert ad-hoc task after milestone 15
df:insert-objective 15 "Add analytics for new feature rollout"
