Auditing Milestones

/kata:audit-milestone

This command IS the orchestrator. Reads existing VERIFICATION.md files (phases already verified during phase-execute), aggregates tech debt and deferred gaps, then spawns integration checker for cross-phase wiring.

Original Intent: @.planning/PROJECT.md @.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md

Planned Work: @.planning/ROADMAP.md @.planning/config.json (if exists)

Completed Work: Glob: .planning/phases//-SUMMARY.md Glob: .planning/phases//-VERIFICATION.md

0. Resolve Model Profile

Read model profile for agent spawning:

MODEL_PROFILE=$(cat .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null | grep -o '"model_profile"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' | grep -o '"[^"]*"$' | tr -d '"' || echo "balanced")

Default to "balanced" if not set.

Model lookup table:

Store resolved model for use in Task call below.

1. Determine Milestone Scope

# Get phases in milestone
ls -d .planning/phases/*/ | sort -V

• Parse version from arguments or detect current from ROADMAP.md
• Identify all phase directories in scope
• Extract milestone definition of done from ROADMAP.md
• Extract requirements mapped to this milestone from REQUIREMENTS.md

2. Read All Phase Verifications

For each phase directory, read the VERIFICATION.md:

cat .planning/phases/01-*/*-VERIFICATION.md
cat .planning/phases/02-*/*-VERIFICATION.md
# etc.

From each VERIFICATION.md, extract:

• Status: passed | gaps_found
• Critical gaps: (if any — these are blockers)
• Non-critical gaps: tech debt, deferred items, warnings
• Anti-patterns found: TODOs, stubs, placeholders
• Requirements coverage: which requirements satisfied/blocked

If a phase is missing VERIFICATION.md, flag it as "unverified phase" — this is a blocker.

3. Spawn Integration Checker

With phase context collected:

Task(
  prompt="Check cross-phase integration and E2E flows.

Phases: {phase_dirs}
Phase exports: {from SUMMARYs}
API routes: {routes created}

Verify cross-phase wiring and E2E user flows.",
  subagent_type="kata-integration-checker",
  model="{integration_checker_model}"
)

4. Collect Results

Combine:

• Phase-level gaps and tech debt (from step 2)
• Integration checker's report (wiring gaps, broken flows)

5. Check Requirements Coverage

For each requirement in REQUIREMENTS.md mapped to this milestone:

• Find owning phase
• Check phase verification status
• Determine: satisfied | partial | unsatisfied

6. Aggregate into v{version}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md

Create .planning/v{version}-v{version}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md with:

---
milestone: {version}
audited: {timestamp}
status: passed | gaps_found | tech_debt
scores:
  requirements: N/M
  phases: N/M
  integration: N/M
  flows: N/M
gaps:  # Critical blockers
  requirements: [...]
  integration: [...]
  flows: [...]
tech_debt:  # Non-critical, deferred
  - phase: 01-auth
    items:
      - "TODO: add rate limiting"
      - "Warning: no password strength validation"
  - phase: 03-dashboard
    items:
      - "Deferred: mobile responsive layout"
---

Plus full markdown report with tables for requirements, phases, integration, tech debt.

Status values:

• passed — all requirements met, no critical gaps, minimal tech debt
• gaps_found — critical blockers exist
• tech_debt — no blockers but accumulated deferred items need review

7. Present Results

Route by status (see <offer_next>).

If passed:

✓ Milestone {version} — Audit Passed

Score: {N}/{M} requirements satisfied Report: .planning/v{version}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md

All requirements covered. Cross-phase integration verified. E2E flows complete.

If gaps_found:

⚠ Milestone {version} — Gaps Found

Score: {N}/{M} requirements satisfied Report: .planning/v{version}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md

Unsatisfied Requirements

{For each unsatisfied requirement:}

• {REQ-ID}: {description} (Phase {X})
  • {reason}

If tech_debt (no blockers but accumulated debt):

⚡ Milestone {version} — Tech Debt Review

Score: {N}/{M} requirements satisfied Report: .planning/v{version}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md

All requirements met. No critical blockers. Accumulated tech debt needs review.
