How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

<objective> Execute all remaining milestone phases autonomously. For each phase: discuss → plan → execute. Pauses only for user decisions (grey area acceptance, blockers, validation requests).
Uses ROADMAP.md phase discovery and Skill() flat invocations for each phase command. After all phases complete: milestone audit → complete → cleanup.
**Creates/Updates:**
- `.planning/STATE.md` — updated after each phase
- `.planning/ROADMAP.md` — progress updated after each phase
- Phase artifacts — CONTEXT.md, PLANs, SUMMARYs per phase
**After:** Milestone is complete and cleaned up. </objective>
<execution_context> @~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/autonomous.md @~/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>
<context> Optional flags:
- `--from N` — start from phase N instead of the first incomplete phase.
- `--to N` — stop after phase N completes (halt instead of advancing to next phase).
- `--only N` — execute only phase N (single-phase mode).
- `--interactive` — run discuss inline with questions (not auto-answered), then dispatch plan→execute as background agents. Keeps the main context lean while preserving user input on decisions.
- `--converge` — run each phase's planning step through `gsd-plan-review-convergence` instead of plain `gsd-plan-phase`. Requires `workflow.plan_review_convergence=true`.
- `--cross-ai` — compatibility alias for `--converge`.
When `--converge` or `--cross-ai` is set, reviewer selector flags supported by `gsd-plan-review-convergence` may be passed through: `--codex`, `--gemini`, `--claude`, `--opencode`, `--ollama`, `--lm-studio`, `--llama-cpp`, `--all`, and `--max-cycles N`.
Project context, phase list, and state are resolved inside the workflow using init commands (`gsd-tools query init.milestone-op`, `gsd-tools query roadmap.analyze`). No upfront context loading needed. </context>
<process> Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (phase discovery, per-phase execution, blocker handling, progress display). </process>
