/ghp:new-milestone — Create a New Milestone

Plans the work with the user, writes a YAML plan file, and runs create-milestone.py to create the milestone, issues, sub-issues, branches, blocking relationships, and project statuses — all in one script call.

Flow

Ask for details via AskUserQuestion:
- Milestone title (e.g. "New Eval Strategy")
- Brief description of the goal
- Whether to plan issues now or just create the milestone
Plan issues with the user. Discuss the work breakdown:
- What issues are needed (features, fixes, tests, docs)
- Which issues have sub-issues
- Blocking relationships between issues
- Labels for each issue
Write the full issue content — title, body (using the issue template from the main ghp skill), labels, and relationships.
Fill in the YAML plan. Read the template at skills/ghp/assets/milestone-template.yml and create a filled-in copy (e.g. plan.yml in the repo root or a temp location). Each issue and sub-issue gets a local id (integer) used only within the YAML to express blocked_by relationships — the script maps these to real GitHub issue numbers.
Run the script:
```
python skills/ghp/scripts/create-milestone.py plan.yml
```
The script handles everything:
- Creates the milestone with Milestone {N} - {Title} naming
- Creates and pushes the milestone branch m{N}-{slug}
- Creates all issues and sub-issues as separate GitHub issues
- Links sub-issues via gh issue-ext sub add
- Sets blocking relationships via gh issue-ext blocking add
- Creates linked branches via gh issue-ext branch create
- Sets project statuses via gh pm move
- Prints a summary with the local-to-GitHub ID mapping

Create TaskList from the script output. Sub-issues first, parent issues last:

TaskCreate: "#{child} — {child title}"
TaskCreate: "#{parent} — {parent title} (parent — wrap up when sub-issues done)"

Start working. Check out the first issue's branch and begin implementation.

Notes

Issue bodies follow the template: Summary, Changes Required, Dependencies, Acceptance Criteria
Status assignment: first issue → In Progress, unblocked → Todo, blocked → Backlog
The YAML template is at skills/ghp/assets/milestone-template.yml
The script is at skills/ghp/scripts/create-milestone.py
