Check for audit:

{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. Run `/gsd: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.

Archive milestone:
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-ROADMAP.mdArchive requirements:
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-REQUIREMENTS.md.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md (fresh one created for next milestone)Update PROJECT.md:

/gsd:new-milestone — start next milestone (questioning → research → requirements → roadmap)<output_format>
After the milestone is archived and tagged, emit a Milestone Complete continuation block following the pattern in references/continuation-format.md (§ Milestone Complete variant):
## 🎉 Milestone v{{version}} Complete with phase/plan/task summary## ▶ Next Up heading`/clear` then: before /gsd:new-milestone/clear is safe — /gsd:resume-work restores position from HANDOFF.json if you change your mind)/gsd:audit-milestone (retrospective audit) or /gsd:review-backlog (deferred items review)Milestone close is the single biggest context-shed point in the workflow. The just-shipped milestone's plan/execute conversation is finished; the next milestone wants a clean slate. Always suggest /clear.

Capture or review how this project connects to external systems (GitHub, AWS, npm, SSH, etc.) so future sessions know the auth recipe. Auto-detection hook logs candidate captures to an inbox; this skill promotes them to permanent recipes in `.planning/AUTH-RECIPES.md` and optionally to user-global memory at `~/.claude/auth-recipes/`.
tools
Initialize a new project using Documentation-Driven Development. Research, then write user-facing docs (SPEC.md) as the spec, then user validates docs, then phases derive from doc sections. Best for CLIs, libraries, SDKs, APIs, plugin systems, anything with a well-defined user-facing surface.
tools
Plan an MVP-mode phase — captures an "As a / I want to / So that" user story, runs SPIDR splitting, then delegates to plan-phase

Extract decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises from completed phase artifacts
