+
+Mark a shipped version (v1.0, v1.1, v2.0) as complete. Creates historical record in MILESTONES.md, performs full PROJECT.md evolution review, reorganizes ROADMAP.md with milestone groupings, and tags the release in git.

+
+When a milestone completes:
+
+1. Extract full milestone details to `.planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-ROADMAP.md`
+2. Archive requirements to `.planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-REQUIREMENTS.md`
+3. Update ROADMAP.md — overwrite in place with milestone grouping (preserve Backlog section)
+4. Safety commit archive files + updated ROADMAP.md, then `git rm REQUIREMENTS.md` (fresh for next milestone)
+5. Perform full PROJECT.md evolution review
+6. Offer to create next milestone inline
+7. Archive UI artifacts (`*-UI-SPEC.md`, `*-UI-REVIEW.md`) alongside other phase documents
+8. Clean up `.planning/ui-reviews/` screenshot files (binary assets, never archived)
+
+**Context Efficiency:** Archives keep ROADMAP.md constant-size and REQUIREMENTS.md milestone-scoped.
+
+**ROADMAP archive** uses `templates/milestone-archive.md` — includes milestone header (status, phases, date), full phase details, milestone summary (decisions, issues, tech debt).
+
+**REQUIREMENTS archive** contains all requirements marked complete with outcomes, traceability table with final status, notes on changed requirements.

+
+<process>
+
+<step name="pre_close_artifact_audit">
+Before proceeding with milestone close, run the comprehensive open artifact audit.
+
+```bash
+gtd-sdk query audit-open
+```
+
+If the output contains open items (any section with count > 0):
+
+Display the full audit report to the user.
+
+Then ask:
+```
+These items are open. Choose an action:
+[R] Resolve — stop and fix items, then re-run /gtd:complete-milestone
+[A] Acknowledge all — document as deferred and proceed with close
+[C] Cancel — exit without closing
+```
+
+If user chooses [A] (Acknowledge):
+1. Re-run `gtd-sdk query audit-open --json` to get structured data
+2. Write acknowledged items to STATE.md under `## Deferred Items` section:
+   ```markdown
+   ## Deferred Items
+
+   Items acknowledged and deferred at milestone close on {date}:
+
+   | Category | Item | Status |
+   |----------|------|--------|
+   | debug | {slug} | {status} |
+   | quick_task | {slug} | {status} |
+   ...
+   ```
+   Sanitize all slug and status values via `sanitizeForDisplay()` before writing. Never inject raw file content into STATE.md.
+3. Record in MILESTONES.md entry: `Known deferred items at close: {count} (see STATE.md Deferred Items)`
+4. Proceed with milestone close.
+
+If output shows all clear (no open items): print `All artifact types clear.` and proceed.
+
+SECURITY: Audit JSON output is structured data from the `audit-open` query handler (same JSON contract as legacy `gtd-tools.cjs audit-open`) — validated and sanitized at source. When writing to STATE.md, item slugs and descriptions are sanitized via `sanitizeForDisplay()` before inclusion. Never inject raw user-supplied content into STATE.md without sanitization.

+
+**Delegate archival to `gtd-sdk query milestone.complete`:**
+
+```bash
+ARCHIVE=$(gtd-sdk query milestone.complete "v[X.Y]" --name "[Milestone Name]")
+```
+
+The CLI handles:
+- Creating `.planning/milestones/` directory
+- Archiving ROADMAP.md to `milestones/v[X.Y]-ROADMAP.md`
+- Archiving REQUIREMENTS.md to `milestones/v[X.Y]-REQUIREMENTS.md` with archive header
+- Moving audit file to milestones if it exists
+- Creating/appending MILESTONES.md entry with accomplishments from SUMMARY.md files
+- Updating STATE.md (status, last activity)
+
+Extract from result: `version`, `date`, `phases`, `plans`, `tasks`, `accomplishments`, `archived`.
+
+Verify: `✅ Milestone archived to .planning/milestones/`
+
+**Phase archival (optional):** After archival completes, ask the user:
+
+
+**Text mode (`workflow.text_mode: true` in config or `--text` flag):** Set `TEXT_MODE=true` if `--text` is present in `$ARGUMENTS` OR `text_mode` from init JSON is `true`. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every `AskUserQuestion` call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where `AskUserQuestion` is not available.
+AskUserQuestion(header="Archive Phases", question="Archive phase directories to milestones/?", options: "Yes — move to milestones/v[X.Y]-phases/" | "Skip — keep phases in place")
+
+If "Yes": move phase directories to the milestone archive:
+```bash
+mkdir -p .planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-phases
+# For each phase directory in .planning/phases/:
+mv .planning/phases/{phase-dir} .planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-phases/
+```
+Verify: `✅ Phase directories archived to .planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-phases/`
+
+If "Skip": Phase directories remain in `.planning/phases/` as raw execution history. Use `/gtd:cleanup` later to archive retroactively.
+
+After archival, the AI still handles:
+- Reorganizing ROADMAP.md with milestone grouping (requires judgment) — overwrite in place after extracting Backlog section
+- Full PROJECT.md evolution review (requires understanding)
+- Safety commit of archive files + updated ROADMAP.md, then `git rm .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md`
+- These are NOT fully delegated because they require AI interpretation of content
+
+</step>
+
+<step name="reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals">
+
+After `milestone complete` has archived, reorganize ROADMAP.md with milestone groupings, then commit archives as a safety checkpoint before removing originals.
+
+**Backlog preservation — do this FIRST before rewriting ROADMAP.md:**
+
+Extract the Backlog section from the current ROADMAP.md before making any changes:
+
+```bash
+# Extract lines under ## Backlog through end of file (or next ## section)
+BACKLOG_SECTION=$(awk '/^## Backlog/{found=1} found{print}' .planning/ROADMAP.md)
+```
+
+If `$BACKLOG_SECTION` is empty, there is no Backlog section — skip silently.
+
+**Reorganize ROADMAP.md** — overwrite in place (do NOT delete first) with milestone groupings:
+
+```markdown
+# Roadmap: [Project Name]
+
+## Milestones
+
+- ✅ **v1.0 MVP** — Phases 1-4 (shipped YYYY-MM-DD)
+- 🚧 **v1.1 Security** — Phases 5-6 (in progress)

+## Phases

+<summary>✅ v1.0 MVP (Phases 1-4) — SHIPPED YYYY-MM-DD</summary>
+
+- [x] Phase 1: Foundation (2/2 plans) — completed YYYY-MM-DD
+- [x] Phase 2: Authentication (2/2 plans) — completed YYYY-MM-DD
+
+</details>
+```
+
+**Re-append Backlog section after the rewrite** (only if `$BACKLOG_SECTION` was non-empty):
+
+Append the extracted Backlog content verbatim to the end of the newly written ROADMAP.md. This ensures 999.x backlog items are never silently dropped during milestone reorganization.
+
+**Safety commit — commit archive files BEFORE deleting any originals:**
+
+```bash
+gtd-sdk query commit "chore: archive v[X.Y] milestone files" --files .planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-ROADMAP.md .planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-REQUIREMENTS.md .planning/milestones/v[X.Y]-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md .planning/MILESTONES.md .planning/PROJECT.md .planning/STATE.md .planning/ROADMAP.md
+```
+
+This creates a durable checkpoint in git history. If anything fails after this point, the working tree can be reconstructed from git.
+
+**Remove REQUIREMENTS.md via git rm** (preserves history, stages deletion atomically):
+
+```bash
+git rm .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md
+```

+**Version conventions:**
+- **v1.0** — Initial MVP
+- **v1.1, v1.2** — Minor updates, new features, fixes
+- **v2.0, v3.0** — Major rewrites, breaking changes, new direction
+
+**Names:** Short 1-2 words (v1.0 MVP, v1.1 Security, v1.2 Performance, v2.0 Redesign).

+
+**Create milestones for:** Initial release, public releases, major feature sets shipped, before archiving planning.
+
+**Don't create milestones for:** Every phase completion (too granular), work in progress, internal dev iterations (unless truly shipped).

+Heuristic: "Is this deployed/usable/shipped?" If yes → milestone. If no → keep working.

+
+Milestone completion is successful when:
+
+- [ ] Pre-close artifact audit run and output shown to user
+- [ ] Deferred items recorded in STATE.md if user acknowledged

+- [ ] Requirements archive created (milestones/v[X.Y]-REQUIREMENTS.md)
+- [ ] Safety commit made (archive files + updated ROADMAP.md) BEFORE deleting REQUIREMENTS.md
+- [ ] REQUIREMENTS.md removed via `git rm` (fresh for next milestone, history preserved)
+- [ ] STATE.md updated with fresh project reference
+- [ ] Git tag created (v[X.Y]) (if `git.create_tag` enabled)
