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.
- @workflows/complete-milestone.md (main workflow)
- @templates/milestone-archive.md (archive template)
User input:
- Version: {{version}} (e.g., "1.0", "1.1", "2.0")
Follow complete-milestone.md workflow:
Check for audit:
- Look for
.planning/v{{version}}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md - If missing or stale: recommend
/gad:audit-milestonefirst - If audit status is
gaps_found: recommend/gad:plan-milestone-gapsfirst - If audit status is
passed: proceed to step 1
## Pre-flight Check {If no v{{version}}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md:} ⚠ No milestone audit found. Run `/gad:audit-milestone` first to verify requirements coverage, cross-phase integration, and E2E flows. {If audit has gaps:} ⚠ Milestone audit found gaps. Run `/gad:plan-milestone-gaps` to create phases that close the gaps, or proceed anyway to accept as tech debt. {If audit passed:} ✓ Milestone audit passed. Proceeding with completion.- Look for
Verify readiness:
- Check all phases in milestone have completed plans (SUMMARY.md exists)
- Present milestone scope and stats
- Wait for confirmation
Gather stats:
- Count phases, plans, tasks
- Calculate git range, file changes, LOC
- Extract timeline from git log
- Present summary, confirm
Extract accomplishments:
- Read all phase SUMMARY.md files in milestone range
- Extract 4-6 key accomplishments
- Present for approval
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
- Create
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)
- Create
Update PROJECT.md:
- Add "Current State" section with shipped version
- Add "Next Milestone Goals" section
- Archive previous content in
<details>(if v1.1+)
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
Offer next steps:
/gad:new-milestone— start next milestone (questioning → research → requirements → roadmap)
- Milestone archived to
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-ROADMAP.md - Requirements archived to
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-REQUIREMENTS.md .planning/REQUIREMENTS.mddeleted (fresh for next milestone)- ROADMAP.md collapsed to one-line entry
- PROJECT.md updated with current state
- Git tag v{{version}} created
- Commit successful
- User knows next steps (including need for fresh requirements)
- 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
/gad:new-milestonewhich includes requirements definition
