Mark milestone {{version}} complete, archive to milestones/, and update ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md.
Purpose: Create historical record of shipped version, archive milestone artifacts (roadmap + requirements), and prepare for next milestone.
Output: Milestone archived (roadmap + requirements), PROJECT.md evolved, git tagged.

Load these files NOW (before proceeding):
- @./references/milestone-complete.md (main workflow)
- @./references/milestone-archive-template.md (archive template)
- @./references/version-detector.md (version detection functions)
- @./references/changelog-generator.md (changelog generation functions) </execution_context>
User input:
- Version: {{version}} (e.g., "1.0", "1.1", "2.0") </context>
Follow milestone-complete.md workflow:

CRITICAL: Branch setup (if pr_workflow=true)Check pr_workflow config FIRST before any other work:bash
PR_WORKFLOW=$(cat .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null | grep -o '"pr_workflow"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*[^,}]*' | grep -o 'true\|false' || echo "false") CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)IfAND onPR_WORKFLOW=true:mainYou MUST create a release branch BEFORE proceeding. All milestone completion work goes on that branch.bash# Determine version from user input or detect from project files # (version-detector.md handles detection across project types) VERSION="X.Y.Z" # Set from user input or detection # Create release branch git checkout -b release/v$VERSION echo "Created release branch: release/v$VERSION" echo "All milestone completion work will be committed here."Display:⚠ pr_workflow is enabled — creating release branch first. Branch: release/v$VERSION All milestone completion commits will go to this branch. After completion, a PR will be created to merge to main.IfOR already on a non-main branch:PR_WORKFLOW=falseProceed with current branch (commits go to main or current branch).GATE: Do NOT proceed until branch is correct:- If pr_workflow=true, you must be on release/vX.Y.Z branch
- If pr_workflow=false, main branch is OK
0.1. Generate release artifacts:
Proactively generate changelog and version bump. Follow the release_workflow step in milestone-complete.md (loads version-detector.md and changelog-generator.md) to:
- Detect version bump type from conventional commits
- Calculate next version
- Generate changelog entry
- Bump version in all project version files detected by version-detector.md
- Insert changelog entry into CHANGELOG.md
Present all proposed changes for review:
## Release Preview
**Current version:** $CURRENT_VERSION
**Bump type:** $BUMP_TYPE
**Next version:** $NEXT_VERSION
**Changelog entry:**
## [$NEXT_VERSION] - $DATE
### Added
[feat commits formatted]
### Fixed
[fix commits formatted]
### Changed
[docs/refactor/perf commits formatted]
**Files updated:**
[list each version file detected and updated]
- CHANGELOG.md → new entry prependedUse AskUserQuestion:
- header: "Release Changes"
- question: "Review the release changes above. Approve?"
- options:
- "Approve" — Keep changes and proceed to verify readiness
- "Edit changelog first" — Pause for user edits, then confirm
- "Revert and skip release" — Undo release file changes, proceed to verify readiness without release artifacts
-
Check for audit:
- Look for
.planning/v{{version}}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md - If missing or stale: recommend first
/kata-audit-milestone - If audit status is : recommend
gaps_foundfirst/kata-plan-milestone-gaps - If audit status is : proceed to step 1

markdown## Pre-flight Check {If no v{{version}}-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md:} ⚠ No milestone audit found. Run `/kata-audit-milestone` first to verify requirements coverage, cross-phase integration, and E2E flows. {If audit has gaps:} ⚠ Milestone audit found gaps. Run `/kata-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. - Look for
-
Verify readiness:
- Check all phases in milestone have completed plans (SUMMARY.md exists)
- Present milestone scope and stats
- Wait for confirmation
-
Gather stats:
- Count phases, plans, tasks
- Calculate git range, file changes, LOC
- Extract timeline from git log
- Present summary, confirm
-
Extract accomplishments:
- Read all phase SUMMARY.md files in milestone range
- Extract 4-6 key accomplishments
- Present for approval
-
Archive milestone:
- Create
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-ROADMAP.md - Extract full phase details from ROADMAP.md
- Fill milestone-archive.md template
- Update ROADMAP.md to one-line summary with link
- Create
-
Archive requirements:
- Create
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-REQUIREMENTS.md - Mark all v1 requirements as complete (checkboxes checked)
- Note requirement outcomes (validated, adjusted, dropped)
- Delete (fresh one created for next milestone)
.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md
- Create
-
Update PROJECT.md:
- Add "Current State" section with shipped version
- Add "Next Milestone Goals" section
- Archive previous content in (if v1.1+)

6.5. Review Documentation (Non-blocking):
Before committing, offer final README review:
Use AskUserQuestion:
- header: "Final README Review"
- question: "Revise README before completing milestone v{{version}}?"
- options:
- "Yes, draft an update for my review" — Revise README and present to the user for approval
- "No, I'll make the edits myself" — Pause for user review, wait for "continue"
- "Skip for now" — Proceed directly to commit
If "Yes, I'll review now":
Review README.md for the complete v{{version}} milestone.
Ensure all shipped features are documented.
Say "continue" when ready to proceed.If "Show README":
Display README.md, then use AskUserQuestion:
- header: "README Accuracy"
- question: "Does this look accurate for v{{version}}?"
- options:
- "Yes, looks good" — Proceed to Step 7
- "Needs updates" — Pause for user edits, wait for "continue"
If "Skip" or review complete: Proceed to Step 7.
Non-blocking: milestone completion continues regardless of choice.
6.7. Close GitHub Milestone:
If github.enabled, close the GitHub Milestone for this version.
See milestone-complete.md step for details.

Commit and finalize:
- Stage: MILESTONES.md, PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, archive files
- Commit:

<success_criteria>
- Milestone archived to
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-ROADMAP.md - Requirements archived to
.planning/milestones/v{{version}}-REQUIREMENTS.md - deleted (fresh for next milestone)
.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md - ROADMAP.md collapsed to one-line entry

- Git tag v{{version}} created (if pr_workflow=false) OR PR created/instructions given (if pr_workflow=true)
- GitHub Milestone v{{version}} closed (if github.enabled)
- Commit successful
- User knows next steps (including need for fresh requirements)
If release workflow was run:
- CHANGELOG.md updated with v{{version}} entry (reviewed and approved)
- Version bumped in all detected project version files
- GitHub Release created (if pr_workflow=false) OR instructions provided (if pr_workflow=true) </success_criteria>
<critical_rules>
- Load workflow first: Read milestone-complete.md before executing
- Verify completion: All phases must have SUMMARY.md files
- User confirmation: Wait for approval at verification gates
- Archive before deleting: Always create archive files before updating/deleting originals
- One-line summary: Collapsed milestone in ROADMAP.md should be single line with link
- Context efficiency: Archive keeps ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md constant size per milestone
- Fresh requirements: Next milestone starts with which includes requirements definition </critical_rules>
