# Prospec Promote Backfill Skill
## Activation
When triggered, briefly describe:
- That you'll formalize a **reviewed** `backfill-draft.md` into the backfill change scaffold — `proposal.md` + `delta-spec.md` + `metadata.yaml` — so it can graduate through `/prospec-verify` (backfill mode) → `/prospec-archive`
- That this is the single, repeatable draft→scaffold step — it replaces ad-hoc hand conversion and is where the `scale: backfill` marker is set
- That `backfill` is a **light scale** like `quick`: it records *existing* behavior, so there is **no `plan.md` and no `tasks.md`** (nothing to plan, no work to schedule). The scaffold enters the lifecycle directly at `status: implemented`
- That it **never** writes the trust zone (`prospec/specs/features/`) — `prospec archive` (the CLI) stays the sole writer
## Language Policy
Write each generated document in the language the Constitution's Language Policy rule assigns to **its path** — change artifacts and their archived summaries in the project's artifact language, the trust zone (Knowledge base, Feature Specs, index) in English. One skill run may write both. Keep code, identifiers, technical terms, and git commit messages in English.
## CLI Prerequisite (required)
> The prospec CLI is a required file for this skill — its deterministic steps call `prospec`
> commands. Probe BEFORE any other step; there is no manual fallback.
