<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:**
0. **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.1. **Verify readiness:**
- Check all phases in milestone have completed plans (SUMMARY.md exists)
- Present milestone scope and stats
- Wait for confirmation
2. **Gather stats:**
- Count phases, plans, tasks
- Calculate git range, file changes, LOC
- Extract timeline from git log
- Present summary, confirm
3. **Extract accomplishments:**
- Read all phase SUMMARY.md files in milestone range
- Extract 4-6 key accomplishments
- Present for approval
4. **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
5. **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)
6. **Update PROJECT.md:**
- Add "Current State" section with shipped version
- Add "Next Milestone Goals" section
- Archive previous content in `<details>` (if v1.1+)
7. **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
8. **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
