Kata Add Milestone

This works for both first milestone (after /kata-new-project) and subsequent milestones (after completing a milestone).

Creates/Updates:

• .planning/PROJECT.md — updated with new milestone goals
• .planning/research/ — domain research (optional, focuses on NEW features)
• .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md — scoped requirements for this milestone
• .planning/ROADMAP.md — phase structure (creates if first, continues if subsequent)
• .planning/STATE.md — reset for new milestone (creates if first)

After this command: Run /kata-plan-phase [N] to start execution.

Load project context: @.planning/PROJECT.md @.planning/STATE.md @.planning/MILESTONES.md @.planning/config.json

Load milestone context (if exists): @.planning/MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md

Phase 1: Load Context

• Read PROJECT.md (existing project, Validated requirements, decisions)
• Read MILESTONES.md (what shipped previously)
• Read STATE.md (pending todos, blockers)
• Check for MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md (if exists)

Phase 1.2: Pre-flight Roadmap Format Check

If ROADMAP.md exists, check format and auto-migrate if old:

if [ -f .planning/ROADMAP.md ]; then
  node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kata-add-milestone/scripts/kata-lib.cjs" check-roadmap 2>/dev/null
  FORMAT_EXIT=$?

  if [ $FORMAT_EXIT -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "Old roadmap format detected. Running auto-migration..."
  fi
fi

If exit code 1 (old format):

Invoke kata-doctor in auto mode:

Skill("kata-doctor", "--auto")

Continue after migration completes.

If exit code 0 or 2: Continue silently.

# Validate config
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kata-add-milestone/scripts/kata-lib.cjs" check-config 2>/dev/null || true

Phase 1.5: Optional Brainstorm

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Brainstorm"
• question: "Brainstorm ideas before defining milestone goals?"
• options:
  • "Brainstorm first" — Run explorer/challenger brainstorm session
  • "Skip" — Continue without brainstorming

If "Brainstorm first":

Display:

Launching brainstorm session...

Run /kata-brainstorm

After brainstorm completes, continue to Phase 2.

If "Skip": Continue to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Gather Milestone Goals

If MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md exists:

• Use features and scope from the context file
• Present summary for confirmation

If no context file:

• Present what shipped in last milestone
• Ask: "What do you want to build next?"
• Use AskUserQuestion to explore features
• Probe for priorities, constraints, scope

Phase 3: Determine Milestone Version

• Parse last version from MILESTONES.md
• Suggest next version (v1.0 → v1.1, or v2.0 for major)
• Confirm with user

Phase 4: Update PROJECT.md

Add/update these sections:

## Current Milestone: v[X.Y] [Name]

**Goal:** [One sentence describing milestone focus]

**Target features:**

- [Feature 1]
- [Feature 2]
- [Feature 3]

Update Active requirements section with new goals.

Update "Last updated" footer.

Phase 5: Update STATE.md

## Current Position

Phase: Not started (defining requirements)
Plan: —
Status: Defining requirements
Last activity: [today] — Milestone v[X.Y] started

Keep Accumulated Context section (decisions, blockers) from previous milestone.

Phase 5.5: Create GitHub Milestone (if enabled)

Read GitHub config:

GITHUB_ENABLED=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kata-add-milestone/scripts/kata-lib.cjs" read-config "github.enabled" "false")

If GITHUB_ENABLED=true:

Step 1: Validate GitHub remote exists

HAS_GITHUB_REMOTE=$(git remote -v 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'github\.com' && echo "true" || echo "false")

If HAS_GITHUB_REMOTE=false:

Use AskUserQuestion to offer repo creation:

• header: "GitHub Repository"
• question: "GitHub tracking is enabled but no GitHub remote found. Create a repository now?"
• options:
  • "Yes, create private repo (Recommended)" — Create private repository and push
  • "Yes, create public repo" — Create public repository and push
  • "Skip for now" — Continue without GitHub integration

If "Yes, create private repo":

gh repo create --source=. --private --push

If successful, set HAS_GITHUB_REMOTE=true and continue to Step 2 (Check authentication).

If "Yes, create public repo":

gh repo create --source=. --public --push

If successful, set HAS_GITHUB_REMOTE=true and continue to Step 2 (Check authentication).

If "Skip for now": Display brief note and continue with local milestone initialization:

Continuing without GitHub integration. Run `gh repo create` later to enable.

Do NOT set github.enabled=false in config - user may add remote later.

If HAS_GITHUB_REMOTE=true:

Step 2: Check authentication (non-blocking)

if ! gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
  echo "Warning: GitHub CLI not authenticated. Run 'gh auth login' to enable GitHub integration."
  # Continue without GitHub operations - local milestone still created
else
  # Proceed with milestone creation
fi

Step 3: Check if milestone exists (idempotent)

MILESTONE_EXISTS=$(gh api /repos/:owner/:repo/milestones 2>/dev/null | jq -r ".[] | select(.title==\"v${VERSION}\") | .number" 2>/dev/null)

Step 4: Create milestone if doesn't exist

if [ -z "$MILESTONE_EXISTS" ]; then
  # Extract milestone description (first paragraph of goal, truncated to 500 chars)
  MILESTONE_DESC=$(echo "$MILESTONE_GOALS" | head -1 | cut -c1-500)

  gh api \
    --method POST \
    -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
    /repos/:owner/:repo/milestones \
    -f title="v${VERSION}" \
    -f state='open' \
    -f description="${MILESTONE_DESC}" \
    2>/dev/null && echo "GitHub Milestone v${VERSION} created" || echo "Warning: Failed to create GitHub Milestone (continuing)"
else
  echo "GitHub Milestone v${VERSION} already exists (#${MILESTONE_EXISTS})"
fi

If GITHUB_ENABLED=false:

Skip GitHub operations silently (no warning needed - user opted out).

Error handling principle:

• All GitHub operations are non-blocking
• Missing remote warns but does not stop milestone initialization
• Auth failures warn but do not stop milestone initialization
• Planning files always persist locally regardless of GitHub status

Phase 6: Cleanup and Commit

Delete MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md if exists (consumed).

Check planning config:

COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kata-add-milestone/scripts/kata-lib.cjs" read-config "commit_docs" "true")
git check-ignore -q .planning 2>/dev/null && COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=false

If COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=false: Skip git operations

If COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=true (default):

git add .planning/PROJECT.md .planning/STATE.md
git commit -m "docs: start milestone v[X.Y] [Name]"

Phase 6.5: Resolve Model Profile

Read model profile for agent spawning:

MODEL_PROFILE=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kata-add-milestone/scripts/kata-lib.cjs" read-config "model_profile" "balanced")

Default to "balanced" if not set.

Model lookup table:

Store resolved models for use in Task calls below.

Phase 7: Research Decision

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Research"
• question: "Research the domain ecosystem for new features before defining requirements?"
• options:
  • "Research first (Recommended)" — Discover patterns, expected features, architecture for NEW capabilities
  • "Skip research" — I know what I need, go straight to requirements

If "Research first":

Display stage banner:

Phase 7.5: Issue Selection

Check for backlog issues:

BACKLOG_COUNT=$(find .planning/issues/open -maxdepth 1 -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')

If BACKLOG_COUNT > 0:

Display: "Checking backlog for issues to include in this milestone..."

Build issue options dynamically:

ISSUE_OPTIONS=""
for file in .planning/issues/open/*.md; do
  [ -f "$file" ] || continue
  created=$(grep "^created:" "$file" | cut -d' ' -f2)
  title=$(grep "^title:" "$file" | cut -d':' -f2- | xargs)

    github_ref=" (GitHub $(echo "$provenance" | grep -oE '#[0-9]+')"
  fi

  echo "$file|$title|$area|$age$github_ref"
done

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Backlog Issues"
• question: "Include any backlog issues in this milestone's scope?"
• multiSelect: true
• options: Build from issue list above, format as "[title]" — [area], [age]
• Include final option: "None — Start fresh"

For each selected issue (if not "None — Start fresh"):

Store as SELECTED_ISSUES variable for use in Phase 8.

Update STATE.md with milestone scope issues:

1. Read STATE.md
2. Find or create "### Milestone Scope Issues" section
3. Add each selected issue:

### Milestone Scope Issues

Issues pulled into current milestone scope:

- "[issue-title]" (from: [issue-file-path], GitHub: #N if linked)

4. Write updated STATE.md

Purpose of issue selection:

• Selected issues become formally tracked as part of the milestone scope
• They appear in STATE.md under "### Milestone Scope Issues" for the current milestone
• They inform requirements generation in Phase 8 (planner should consider these issues when generating requirements)
• They will be visible in progress tracking commands like /kata-track-progress
• User still defines formal requirements through Phase 8, but selected issues provide explicit scope context

If BACKLOG_COUNT = 0:

Skip silently. Continue to Phase 8.

Phase 8: Define Requirements

Display stage banner:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Kata ► DEFINING REQUIREMENTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Load context:

Read PROJECT.md and extract:

• Core value (the ONE thing that must work)
• Current milestone goals
• Validated requirements (what already exists)

If research exists: Read research/FEATURES.md and extract feature categories.

Present features by category:

Here are the features for [new capabilities]:

## [Category 1]
**Table stakes:**
- Feature A
- Feature B

**Differentiators:**
- Feature C
- Feature D

**Research notes:** [any relevant notes]

---

## [Next Category]
...

If no research: Gather requirements through conversation instead.

Ask: "What are the main things users need to be able to do with [new features]?"

For each capability mentioned:

• Ask clarifying questions to make it specific
• Probe for related capabilities
• Group into categories

Scope each category:

For each category, use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "[Category name]"
• question: "Which [category] features are in this milestone?"
• multiSelect: true
• options:
  • "[Feature 1]" — [brief description]
  • "[Feature 2]" — [brief description]
  • "[Feature 3]" — [brief description]
  • "None for this milestone" — Defer entire category

Track responses:

• Selected features → this milestone's requirements
• Unselected table stakes → future milestone
• Unselected differentiators → out of scope

Identify gaps:

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Additions"
• question: "Any requirements research missed? (Features specific to your vision)"
• options:
  • "No, research covered it" — Proceed
  • "Yes, let me add some" — Capture additions

Generate REQUIREMENTS.md:

Create .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md with:

• v1 Requirements for THIS milestone grouped by category (checkboxes, REQ-IDs)
• Future Requirements (deferred to later milestones)
• Out of Scope (explicit exclusions with reasoning)
• Traceability section (empty, filled by roadmap)

REQ-ID format: [CATEGORY]-[NUMBER] (AUTH-01, NOTIF-02)

Continue numbering from existing requirements if applicable.

Requirement quality criteria:

Good requirements are:

• Specific and testable: "User can reset password via email link" (not "Handle password reset")
• User-centric: "User can X" (not "System does Y")
• Atomic: One capability per requirement (not "User can login and manage profile")
• Independent: Minimal dependencies on other requirements

Present full requirements list:

Show every requirement (not counts) for user confirmation:

## Milestone v[X.Y] Requirements

### [Category 1]
- [ ] **CAT1-01**: User can do X
- [ ] **CAT1-02**: User can do Y

### [Category 2]
- [ ] **CAT2-01**: User can do Z

[... full list ...]

Does this capture what you're building? (yes / adjust)

If "adjust": Return to scoping.

Commit requirements:

Check planning config (same pattern as Phase 6).

If committing:

git add .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
docs: define milestone v[X.Y] requirements

EOF
)"

Phase 8.5: Collision Check

Check for duplicate phase numeric prefixes across all state directories. Collisions cause find ... -name "01-*" | head -1 to return wrong directories.

DUPES=$(for state in active pending completed; do
  ls .planning/phases/${state}/ 2>/dev/null
done | grep -oE '^[0-9]+' | sort -n | uniq -d)

# Include flat directories (unmigrated projects)
FLAT_DUPES=$(ls .planning/phases/ 2>/dev/null | grep -E '^[0-9]' | grep -oE '^[0-9]+' | sort -n | uniq -d)

ALL_DUPES=$(echo -e "${DUPES}\n${FLAT_DUPES}" | sort -nu | grep -v '^$')

If ALL_DUPES is empty: Continue silently to Phase 9.

If collisions found:

Display:

⚠ Duplicate phase prefixes detected: [list]

Phase directories share numeric prefixes across milestones. This causes
phase lookup commands to return wrong directories.

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Collisions"
• question: "Duplicate phase prefixes found. Migrate to globally sequential numbering?"
• options:
  • "Migrate now" — Run /kata-doctor to fix collisions, then recalculate NEXT_PHASE before continuing
  • "Skip" — Continue without fixing (phase lookups may return wrong results)

If "Migrate now":

Run /kata-doctor to perform migration:

Skill("kata-doctor")

After doctor completes, recalculate NEXT_PHASE from the newly renumbered directories.

If "Skip":

Display:

⚠ Skipping migration. Run `/kata-doctor` to fix collisions later.

Continue to Phase 9.

Phase 9: Create Roadmap

Display stage banner:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Kata ► CREATING ROADMAP ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

◆ Spawning roadmapper...

Determine starting phase number:

Phase numbers are globally sequential across milestones. Scan all existing phase directories to find the highest phase number, then start this milestone's phases at highest + 1:

ALL_PHASE_DIRS=""
for state in active pending completed; do
  [ -d ".planning/phases/${state}" ] && ALL_PHASE_DIRS="${ALL_PHASE_DIRS} $(find .planning/phases/${state} -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name "${state}" 2>/dev/null)"

HIGHEST=$(echo "$ALL_PHASE_DIRS" | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -oE '/[0-9]+' | grep -oE '[0-9]+' | sort -n | tail -1)
NEXT_PHASE=$((HIGHEST + 1))

Pass NEXT_PHASE as the starting phase number to the roadmapper.

Spawn roadmapper agent with context:

Phase 9.5: Create Phase Issues (if enabled)

1. Check github.enabled - Skip silently if false

If GITHUB_ENABLED=false: Skip to Phase 10.

2. Check github.issue_mode (auto | ask | never):

ISSUE_MODE=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kata-add-milestone/scripts/kata-lib.cjs" read-config "github.issue_mode" "auto")

• If "never": Skip phase issue creation silently, continue to Phase 10

• If "ask": Use AskUserQuestion to prompt:

  • header: "GitHub Phase Issues"
  • question: "Create GitHub Issues for each phase in this milestone?"
  • options:
    • "Yes" — Create issues for all phases
    • "No" — Skip issue creation for this milestone

• If "auto" or user approved "Yes": Proceed with creation

3. Create phase label (idempotent):

gh label create "phase" --color "0E8A16" --description "Kata phase tracking" --force 2>/dev/null || true

4. Get milestone number (from Phase 5.5):

# Extract VERSION from current milestone
VERSION=$(grep -E "Current Milestone:|🔄" .planning/ROADMAP.md | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?' | head -1 | tr -d 'v')
if [ -z "$VERSION" ]; then

MILESTONE_NUM=$(gh api /repos/:owner/:repo/milestones --jq ".[] | select(.title==\"v${VERSION}\") | .number" 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z "$MILESTONE_NUM" ]; then
  echo "Warning: Could not find GitHub Milestone v${VERSION}. Skipping phase issue creation."
  # Continue without phase issues - skip to Phase 10
fi

5. Parse phases from ROADMAP.md (for this milestone only):

The ROADMAP.md structure uses:

• Milestone headers: ### v1.1.0 GitHub Integration (Planned) or ### v{VERSION} {Name} (Status)
• Phase headers: #### Phase N: Phase Name

6. Display summary (after loop):

◆ GitHub Phase Issues: [N] created for milestone v${VERSION}

Error handling principle: All operations are non-blocking. Missing milestone, auth issues, or creation failures warn but do not stop the milestone flow.

IMPORTANT: Use temp file approach (--body-file) to handle special characters in phase goals. Direct --body strings break with quotes/backticks.

Phase 10: Done

Present completion with next steps:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Kata ► MILESTONE INITIALIZED ✓ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

▶ Next Up

Phase [N]: [Phase Name] — [Goal from ROADMAP.md]

/kata-plan-phase [N] — plan the next phase

/clear first → fresh context window

Also available:

• /kata-discuss-phase [N] — discuss first

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

• PROJECT.md updated with Current Milestone section
• STATE.md reset for new milestone
• MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md consumed and deleted (if existed)
• Research completed (if selected) — 4 parallel agents spawned, milestone-aware
• Requirements gathered (from research or conversation)
• User scoped each category
• REQUIREMENTS.md created with REQ-IDs
• kata-roadmapper spawned with phase numbering context
• Roadmap files written immediately (not draft)
• User feedback incorporated (if any)
• ROADMAP.md created with globally sequential phase numbers (continuing from highest existing)
• All commits made (if planning docs committed)
• User knows next step is /kata-discuss-phase [N]

Atomic commits: Each phase commits its artifacts immediately. If context is lost, artifacts persist.
