SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new research milestone in an existing project requires gathering goals, surveying literature, scoping objectives, and building a phased roadmap, which is error-prone when done manually across multiple planning documents. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Milestone Initialization: Updates PROJECT.md and STATE.md with new milestone goals, versioning, and carry-forward context from prior work. - Optional Literature Survey: Spawns four parallel research scouts (prior work, methods, computational, pitfalls) plus a synthesizer to produce a research summary before defining objectives. - Requirements and Roadmap Generation: Defines scoped research objectives with REQ-IDs in REQUIREMENTS.md and delegates phased roadmap creation to a roadmapper agent with contract coverage tracking. - Use Case: A physics researcher finishing milestone v1.0 on turbulence baselines invokes this Skill to start v1.1, survey new methods, define objectives like ANAL-04 and NUMR-03, and receive an approved multi-phase roadmap ready for execution. ## Quick Start Start a new research milestone called v1.1 Finite-Temperature Extension and guide me through goals, literature survey, objectives, and roadmap approval.

Frequently Asked Questions about gpd-new-milestone

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new research milestone in an existing GPD project?▼

Invoke the new-milestone workflow with a milestone name such as v1.1. It loads PROJECT.md and STATE.md, gathers goals, optionally runs a literature survey, defines REQ-ID objectives, and spawns a roadmapper to create the phased ROADMAP.md.

What artifacts does the new milestone workflow create?▼

It updates .gpd/PROJECT.md and .gpd/STATE.md, optionally creates literature research files under .gpd/research/, generates .gpd/REQUIREMENTS.md with REQ-IDs, and produces .gpd/ROADMAP.md with phases continuing from the previous milestone's numbering.

Can I skip the literature survey when starting a milestone?▼

Yes. When prompted, choose Skip survey to go straight to defining objectives. The choice is persisted to workflow.research in the config so future planning steps honor it.

What happens if a research scout or roadmapper agent fails?▼

The workflow checks expected output files on disk rather than trusting handoff status. For missing artifacts it offers to retry the agent, execute the work in the main context, or continue with available outputs depending on how many agents failed.

How does autonomy mode affect the milestone workflow?▼

Supervised mode pauses for confirmation after requirements and before roadmap generation. Balanced mode runs automatically unless scope is ambiguous. Yolo mode skips the optional research step and auto-approves the roadmap while keeping contract coverage visible.
