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):
- If
--review [full|lean|solo]was passed → use that - Else read
production/review-mode.txt→ use that value - 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,HACKmarkers 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-checkfor a formal phase gate verdict if this milestone marks a development phase boundary. - Run
/sprint-planto adjust the next sprint based on the scope recommendations above.
