<objective> Start a new milestone: questioning → research (optional) → requirements → roadmap.

Brownfield equivalent of new-project. Project exists, PROJECT.md has history. Gathers "what's next", updates PROJECT.md, then runs requirements → roadmap cycle.

**Creates/Updates:**

  • `.planning/PROJECT.md` — updated with new milestone goals
  • `.planning/research/` — domain research (optional, NEW features only)
  • `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` — scoped requirements for this milestone
  • `.planning/ROADMAP.md` — phase structure (continues numbering)
  • `.planning/STATE.md` — reset for new milestone

**After:** `/gsd-plan-phase [N]` to start execution. </objective>

<context> Milestone name: $ARGUMENTS (optional - will prompt if not provided)

Project and milestone context files are resolved inside the workflow (`init new-milestone`) and delegated via `<files_to_read>` blocks where subagents are used. </context>

<process> Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, questioning, research, requirements, roadmap approval, commits). </process>
