msd-core/get-shit-done/workflows/audit-milestone.md

Verify milestone achieved its definition of done by aggregating phase verifications, checking cross-phase integration, and assessing requirements coverage. Reads existing VERIFICATION.md files (phases already verified during execute-phase), aggregates tech debt and deferred gaps, then spawns integration checker for cross-phase wiring.

<required_reading> Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting. </required_reading>

0. Initialize Milestone Context

INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" init milestone-op)

Extract from init JSON: milestone_version, milestone_name, phase_count, completed_phases, commit_docs.

Resolve integration checker model:

integration_checker_model=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" resolve-model gsd-integration-checker --raw)

1. Determine Milestone Scope

# Get phases in milestone (sorted numerically, handles decimals)
node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phases list

• 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:

# For each phase, use find-phase to resolve the directory (handles archived phases)
PHASE_INFO=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" find-phase 01 --raw)
# Extract directory from JSON, then read VERIFICATION.md from that directory
# Repeat for each phase number from ROADMAP.md

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:

Extract MILESTONE_REQ_IDS from REQUIREMENTS.md traceability table — all REQ-IDs assigned to phases in this milestone.

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

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

Milestone Requirements:
{MILESTONE_REQ_IDS — list each REQ-ID with description and assigned phase}

MUST map each integration finding to affected requirement IDs where applicable.

Verify cross-phase wiring and E2E user flows.",
  subagent_type="gsd-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 (3-Source Cross-Reference)

MUST cross-reference three independent sources for each requirement:

5a. Parse REQUIREMENTS.md Traceability Table

Extract all REQ-IDs mapped to milestone phases from the traceability table:

• Requirement ID, description, assigned phase, current status, checked-off state ([x] vs [ ])

5b. Parse Phase VERIFICATION.md Requirements Tables

For each phase's VERIFICATION.md, extract the expanded requirements table:

• Requirement | Source Plan | Description | Status | Evidence
• Map each entry back to its REQ-ID

5c. Extract SUMMARY.md Frontmatter Cross-Check

For each phase's SUMMARY.md, extract requirements-completed from YAML frontmatter:

for summary in .planning/phases/*-*/*-SUMMARY.md; do
  node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" summary-extract "$summary" --fields requirements_completed | jq -r '.requirements_completed'
done

5d. Status Determination Matrix

For each REQ-ID, determine status using all three sources:

VERIFICATION.md Status	SUMMARY Frontmatter	REQUIREMENTS.md	→ Final Status
passed	listed	[x]	satisfied
passed	listed	[ ]	satisfied (update checkbox)
passed	missing	any	partial (verify manually)
gaps_found	any	any	unsatisfied
missing	listed	any	partial (verification gap)
missing	missing	any	unsatisfied

5e. FAIL Gate and Orphan Detection

REQUIRED: Any unsatisfied requirement MUST force gaps_found status on the milestone audit.

Orphan detection: Requirements present in REQUIREMENTS.md traceability table but absent from ALL phase VERIFICATION.md files MUST be flagged as orphaned. Orphaned requirements are treated as unsatisfied — they were assigned but never verified by any phase.

5.5. Nyquist Compliance Discovery

Skip if workflow.nyquist_validation is explicitly false (absent = enabled).

NYQUIST_CONFIG=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" config get workflow.nyquist_validation --raw 2>/dev/null)

If false: skip entirely.

For each phase directory, check *-VALIDATION.md. If exists, parse frontmatter (nyquist_compliant, wave_0_complete).

Classify per phase:

Status	Condition
COMPLIANT	nyquist_compliant: true and all tasks green
PARTIAL	VALIDATION.md exists, nyquist_compliant: false or red/pending
MISSING	No VALIDATION.md

Add to audit YAML: nyquist: { compliant_phases, partial_phases, missing_phases, overall }

Discovery only — never auto-calls /gsd:validate-phase.

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:
    - id: "{REQ-ID}"
      status: "unsatisfied | partial | orphaned"
      phase: "{assigned phase}"
      claimed_by_plans: ["{plan files that reference this requirement}"]
      completed_by_plans: ["{plan files whose SUMMARY marks it complete}"]
      verification_status: "passed | gaps_found | missing | orphaned"
      evidence: "{specific evidence or lack thereof}"
  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
