milestone-review

Skill8 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub

Generates a comprehensive milestone progress review including feature completeness, quality metrics, risk assessment, and go/no-go recommendation. Use at milestone checkpoints or when evaluating readiness for a milestone deadline.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

10 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 8 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 15 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 8

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    If --review [full|lean|solo] was passed → use that

    line 12
  2. Very specific:

    Read the milestone definition from production/milestones/.

    line 22
  3. Very specific:

    Read all sprint reports for sprints within this milestone from production/sprints/.

    line 24
  4. Very specific:

    Check the risk register at production/risk-register/

    line 31
  5. Very specific:

    Before generating the Go/No-Go recommendation, spawn producer via Task using gate PR-MILESTONE (.claude/docs/director-gates.md).

    line 116
  6. Very specific:

    Ask: "May I write this to production/milestones/[milestone-name]-review.md?"

    line 128
  7. Distinctive:

    If yes, write the file, creating the directory if needed.

    line 130
  8. Distinctive:

    If no, stop here. Verdict: BLOCKED — user declined write.

    line 132
  9. Very specific:

    Run /gate-check for a formal phase gate verdict if this milestone marks a development phase boundary.

    line 138
  10. Very specific:

    Run /sprint-plan to adjust the next sprint based on the scope recommendations above.

    line 139

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 15 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Phase 0: Parse Arguments

Extract the milestone name (current or a specific name) and resolve the review mode (once, store for all gate spawns this run):

  1. If --review [full|lean|solo] was passed → use that
  2. Else read production/review-mode.txt → use that value
  3. Else → default to lean

See .claude/docs/director-gates.md for the full check pattern.


Phase 1: Load Milestone Data

Read the milestone definition from production/milestones/. If the argument is current, use the most recently modified milestone file.

Read all sprint reports for sprints within this milestone from production/sprints/.


Phase 2: Scan Codebase Health

  • Scan for TODO, FIXME, HACK markers that indicate incomplete work
  • Check the risk register at production/risk-register/

Phase 3: Generate the Milestone Review

# Milestone Review: [Milestone Name]

## Overview
- **Target Date**: [Date]
- **Current Date**: [Today]
- **Days Remaining**: [N]
- **Sprints Completed**: [X/Y]

## Feature Completeness

### Fully Complete
| Feature | Acceptance Criteria | Test Status |
|---------|-------------------|-------------|

### Partially Complete
| Feature | % Done | Remaining Work | Risk to Milestone |
|---------|--------|---------------|------------------|

### Not Started
| Feature | Priority | Can Cut? | Impact of Cutting |
|---------|----------|----------|------------------|

## Quality Metrics
- **Open S1 Bugs**: [N] -- [List]
- **Open S2 Bugs**: [N]
- **Open S3 Bugs**: [N]
- **Test Coverage**: [X%]
- **Performance**: [Within budget? Details]

## Code Health
- **TODO count**: [N across codebase]
- **FIXME count**: [N]
- **HACK count**: [N]
- **Technical debt items**: [List critical ones]

## Risk Assessment
| Risk | Status | Impact if Realized | Mitigation Status |
|------|--------|-------------------|------------------|

## Velocity Analysis
- **Planned vs Completed** (across all sprints): [X/Y tasks = Z%]
- **Trend**: [Improving / Stable / Declining]
- **Adjusted estimate for remaining work**: [Days needed at current velocity]

## Scope Recommendations
### Protect (Must ship with milestone)
- [Feature and why]

### At Risk (May need to cut or simplify)
- [Feature and risk]

### Cut Candidates (Can defer without compromising milestone)
- [Feature and impact of cutting]

## Go/No-Go Assessment

**Recommendation**: [GO / CONDITIONAL GO / NO-GO]

**Conditions** (if conditional):
- [Condition 1 that must be met]
- [Condition 2 that must be met]

**Rationale**: [Explanation of the recommendation]

## Action Items
| # | Action | Owner | Deadline |
|---|--------|-------|----------|

Phase 3b: Producer Risk Assessment

Review mode check — apply before spawning PR-MILESTONE:

  • solo → skip. Note: "PR-MILESTONE skipped — Solo mode." Present the Go/No-Go section without a producer verdict.
  • lean → skip (not a PHASE-GATE). Note: "PR-MILESTONE skipped — Lean mode." Present the Go/No-Go section without a producer verdict.
  • full → spawn as normal.

Before generating the Go/No-Go recommendation, spawn producer via Task using gate PR-MILESTONE (.claude/docs/director-gates.md).

Pass: milestone name and target date, current completion percentage, blocked story count, velocity data from sprint reports (if available), list of cut candidates.

Present the producer's assessment inline within the Go/No-Go section. The producer's verdict (ON TRACK / AT RISK / OFF TRACK) informs the overall recommendation — do not issue a GO against an OFF TRACK producer verdict without explicit user acknowledgement.


Phase 4: Save Review

Present the review to the user.

Ask: "May I write this to production/milestones/[milestone-name]-review.md?"

If yes, write the file, creating the directory if needed. Verdict: COMPLETE — milestone review saved.

If no, stop here. Verdict: BLOCKED — user declined write.


Phase 5: Next Steps

  • Run /gate-check for a formal phase gate verdict if this milestone marks a development phase boundary.
  • Run /sprint-plan to adjust the next sprint based on the scope recommendations above.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
