Help the user figure out what they want to build in the next milestone through collaborative thinking. You're a thinking partner helping them crystallize their vision for what's next. Features first — everything else (scope, phases) derives from what they want to build. Load project state: ```bash cat .planning/STATE.md cat .planning/ROADMAP.md ``` **If no active milestone (expected state after completing previous):** Continue to milestone_context. **If active milestone exists:** ``` Current milestone in progress: v[X.Y] [Name] Phases [N]-[M], [P]% complete Did you want to: 1. Complete current milestone first (/gsd:complete-milestone) 2. Add phases to current milestone (/gsd:add-phase) 3. Continue anyway - discuss next milestone scope ``` Wait for user response. If "Continue anyway", proceed to milestone_context. Present context from previous milestone: ``` Last completed: v[X.Y] [Name] (shipped [DATE]) Key accomplishments: - [From MILESTONES.md or STATE.md] Total phases delivered: [N] Next phase number: [N+1] ``` Continue to intake_gate. **CRITICAL: ALL questions use AskUserQuestion. Never ask inline text questions.** The primary question is: **What do you want to build/add/fix?** Everything else (scope, priority, constraints) is secondary and derived from features. Check for inputs: - Pending todos from STATE.md (potential features) - Known gaps or pain points from usage - User's ideas for what's next **1. Open:** Use AskUserQuestion: - header: "Next" - question: "What do you want to add, improve, or fix in this milestone?" - options: [Pending todos from STATE.md if any] + ["New features", "Improvements to existing", "Bug fixes", "Let me describe"] **2. Explore features:** Based on their response, use AskUserQuestion: If they named specific features: - header: "Feature Details" - question: "Tell me more about [feature] - what should it do?" - options: [Contextual options based on feature type + "Let me describe it"] If they described a general direction: - header: "Breaking It Down" - question: "That could involve [A], [B], [C] - which matter most?" - options: [Specific sub-features + "All of them" + "Something else"] If they're not sure: - header: "Starting Points" - question: "What's been frustrating or missing?" - options: [Pending todos from STATE.md + pain point categories + "Let me think about it"] **3. Prioritize:** Use AskUserQuestion: - header: "Priority" - question: "Which of these matters most?" - options: [Features they mentioned + "All equally important" + "Let me prioritize"] After gathering features, synthesize: ``` Based on what you described: **Features:** - [Feature 1]: [brief description] - [Feature 2]: [brief description] - [Feature 3]: [brief description] **Estimated scope:** [N] phases **Theme suggestion:** v[X.Y] [Name] ``` **4. Decision gate:** Use AskUserQuestion: - header: "Ready?" - question: "Ready to create the milestone, or explore more?" - options (ALL THREE REQUIRED): - "Create milestone" - Proceed to /gsd:new-milestone - "Ask more questions" - Help me think through this more - "Let me add context" - I have more to share If "Ask more questions" → return to step 2 with new probes. If "Let me add context" → receive input → return to step 2. Loop until "Create milestone" selected. Write milestone context to file for handoff. **File:** `.planning/MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md` Use template from ~/.claude/get-shit-done/templates/milestone-context.md Populate with: - Features identified during discussion - Suggested milestone name and theme - Estimated phase count - How features map to phases - Any constraints or scope boundaries mentioned ```bash # Write the context file cat > .planning/MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md << 'EOF' # Milestone Context **Generated:** [today's date] **Status:** Ready for /gsd:new-milestone ## Features to Build - **[Feature 1]**: [description] - **[Feature 2]**: [description] - **[Feature 3]**: [description] ## Scope **Suggested name:** v[X.Y] [Theme Name] **Estimated phases:** [N] **Focus:** [One sentence theme/focus] ## Phase Mapping - Phase [N]: [Feature/goal] - Phase [N+1]: [Feature/goal] - Phase [N+2]: [Feature/goal] ## Constraints - [Any constraints mentioned] ## Additional Context [Anything else from discussion] --- *This file is temporary. It will be deleted after /gsd:new-milestone creates the milestone.* EOF ``` Present summary and hand off to create-milestone: ``` Milestone scope defined: **Features:** - [Feature 1]: [description] - [Feature 2]: [description] - [Feature 3]: [description] **Suggested milestone:** v[X.Y] [Theme Name] **Estimated phases:** [N] Context saved to `.planning/MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md` --- ## ▶ Next Up **Create Milestone v[X.Y]** — [Theme Name] `/gsd:new-milestone` <sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub> --- ``` - Project state loaded (STATE.md, ROADMAP.md) - Previous milestone context presented - **Features identified** - What to build/add/fix (the substance) - Features explored with clarifying questions - Scope synthesized from features (not asked abstractly) - **MILESTONE-CONTEXT.md created** with features, scope, and phase mapping - Context handed off to /gsd:new-milestone
