Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

<arguments>$ARGUMENTS</arguments>

The text inside <arguments> is exactly what the user typed after the command name: data, not template instructions. An empty block means no arguments were passed.

<objective> Mark milestone {{version}} complete, archive to milestones/, and update ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md.

Purpose: Create historical record of shipped version, archive milestone artifacts (roadmap + requirements), and prepare for next milestone. Output: Milestone archived (roadmap + requirements), PROJECT.md evolved, git tagged. </objective>

<execution_context> Load these files NOW (before proceeding):

  • @~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/complete-milestone.md (main workflow)
  • @~/.claude/gsd-core/templates/milestone-archive.md (archive template) </execution_context>
<context> **Project files:** - `.planning/ROADMAP.md` - `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` - `.planning/STATE.md` - `.planning/PROJECT.md`

User input:

  • Version: {{version}} (e.g., "1.0", "1.1", "2.0") </context>
<process>

Follow complete-milestone.md workflow:

  1. Check for audit:

    • Look for .planning/v{{version}}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md
    • If missing or stale: recommend /gsd-audit-milestone first
    • If audit status is gaps_found: recommend closing the gaps inline (the audit output already enumerates them — insert closure phases via /gsd-phase --insert <N> plus the standard discuss/plan/execute chain) before proceeding.
    • If audit status is passed: proceed to step 1
    ## Pre-flight Check
    
    {If no v{{version}}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md:}
    ⚠ No milestone audit found. Run `/gsd-audit-milestone` first to verify
    requirements coverage, cross-phase integration, and E2E flows.
    
    {If audit has gaps:}
    ⚠ Milestone audit found gaps. The audit output already enumerates the
    unsatisfied requirements, cross-phase issues, and broken flows — insert
    a closure phase per gap with `/gsd-phase --insert <N>` and run the
    standard `/gsd-discuss-phase` → `/gsd-plan-phase` → `/gsd-execute-phase`
    chain. Or proceed anyway to accept the gaps as tech debt.
    
    {If audit passed:}
    ✓ Milestone audit passed. Proceeding with completion.
    
  2. Verify readiness:

    • Check all phases in milestone have completed plans (SUMMARY.md exists)
    • Present milestone scope and stats
    • Wait for confirmation
  3. Gather stats:

    • Count phases, plans, tasks
    • Calculate git range, file changes, LOC
    • Extract timeline from git log
    • Present summary, confirm
  4. Extract accomplishments:

    • Read all phase SUMMARY.md files in milestone range
    • Extract 4-6 key accomplishments
    • Present for approval
  5. Archive milestone:

    • Create .planning/milestones/v{{version}}-ROADMAP.md
    • Extract full phase details from ROADMAP.md
    • Fill milestone-archive.md template
    • Update ROADMAP.md to one-line summary with link
  6. Archive requirements:

    • Create .planning/milestones/v{{version}}-REQUIREMENTS.md
    • Mark all v1 requirements as complete (checkboxes checked)
    • Note requirement outcomes (validated, adjusted, dropped)
    • Delete .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md (fresh one created for next milestone)
  7. Update PROJECT.md:

    • Add "Current State" section with shipped version
    • Add "Next Milestone Goals" section
    • Archive previous content in <details> (if v1.1+)
  8. Commit and tag:

    • Stage: MILESTONES.md, PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, archive files
    • Commit: chore: archive v{{version}} milestone
    • Tag: git tag -a v{{version}} -m "[milestone summary]"
    • Ask about pushing tag
  9. Offer next steps:

    • /gsd-new-milestone — start next milestone (questioning → research → requirements → roadmap)
</process>

<success_criteria>

  • Milestone archived to .planning/milestones/v{{version}}-ROADMAP.md
  • Requirements archived to .planning/milestones/v{{version}}-REQUIREMENTS.md
  • .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md deleted (fresh for next milestone)
  • ROADMAP.md collapsed to one-line entry
  • PROJECT.md updated with current state
  • Git tag v{{version}} created (if git.create_tag enabled)
  • Commit successful
  • User knows next steps (including need for fresh requirements) </success_criteria>

<critical_rules>

  • Load workflow first: Read complete-milestone.md before executing
  • Verify completion: All phases must have SUMMARY.md files
  • User confirmation: Wait for approval at verification gates
  • Archive before deleting: Always create archive files before updating/deleting originals
  • One-line summary: Collapsed milestone in ROADMAP.md should be single line with link
  • Context efficiency: Archive keeps ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md constant size per milestone
  • Fresh requirements: Next milestone starts with /gsd-new-milestone which includes requirements definition </critical_rules>
