- →Produce human-friendly overviews of project work
- →Offer interactive Q&A after summary generation
- →Update STATE.md after summary generation
How it works
The skill reads various milestone artifacts, such as ROADMAP, REQUIREMENTS, and VERIFICATION files, to generate a structured summary for project review and team onboarding.

About this skill
<codex_skill_adapter>
A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-milestone-summary. - Treat all user text after
$gsd-milestone-summaryas{{GSD_ARGS}}. - If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}}as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header→headerquestion→question- Options formatted as
"Label" — description→{label: "Label", description: "description"} - Generate
idfrom header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2])→ singlerequest_user_inputwith multiple entries inquestions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_inputis rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Direct mapping:
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Task(model="...")→ omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)fork_context: falseby default — GSD agents load their own context via<files_to_read>blocks
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids)for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT,PLAN COMPLETE,SUMMARY, etc. close_agent(id)after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>
Purpose: Enable new team members to understand a completed project by reading one document and asking follow-up questions.
Output: MILESTONE_SUMMARY written to .planning/reports/, presented inline, optional interactive Q&A.

<execution_context> @C:/ExtratorLaudos/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/milestone-summary.md </execution_context>
<context> **Project files:** - `.planning/ROADMAP.md` - `.planning/PROJECT.md` - `.planning/STATE.md` - `.planning/RETROSPECTIVE.md` - `.planning/milestones/v{version}-ROADMAP.md` (if archived) - `.planning/milestones/v{version}-REQUIREMENTS.md` (if archived) - `.planning/phases/*-*/` (SUMMARY.md, VERIFICATION.md, CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md)User input:
- Version: {{GSD_ARGS}} (optional — defaults to current/latest milestone) </context>
<success_criteria>
- Milestone version resolved (from args, STATE.md, or archive scan)
- All available artifacts read (ROADMAP, REQUIREMENTS, CONTEXT, SUMMARY, VERIFICATION, RESEARCH, RETROSPECTIVE)
- Summary document written to
.planning/reports/MILESTONE_SUMMARY-v{version}.md - All 7 sections generated (Overview, Architecture, Phases, Decisions, Requirements, Tech Debt, Getting Started)
- Summary presented inline to user
- Interactive Q&A offered
- STATE.md updated </success_criteria>
When not to use it
- →When milestone artifacts are incomplete or unavailable
- →When a summary for an ongoing milestone is needed
- →When a different reporting format is required
Limitations
- →Requires specific milestone artifacts to be present and completed
- →Assumes a predefined structure for the milestone summary sections
- →Relies on the GSD workflow for execution context
How it compares
This skill automates the compilation of project information into a structured milestone summary, providing a consistent overview for onboarding and review, unlike manually gathering and summarizing disparate documents.

session-handoff
davila7
Creates comprehensive handoff documents for seamless AI agent session transfers. Triggered when: (1) user requests handoff/memory/context save, (2) context window approaches capacity, (3) major task milestone completed, (4) work session ending, (5) user says 'save state', 'create handoff', 'I need to pause', 'context is getting full', (6) resuming work with 'load handoff', 'resume from', 'continue where we left off'. Proactively suggests handoffs after substantial work (multiple file edits, complex debugging, architecture decisions). Solves long-running agent context exhaustion by enabling fresh agents to continue with zero ambiguity.
