Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Start a new milestone cycle — update PROJECT.md and route to requirementsKey capabilities
- →Update `.planning/PROJECT.md` with new milestone goals.
- →Gather 'what's next' for an existing project.
- →Create optional domain research files for new features.
- →Scope requirements for the current milestone in `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md`.
- →Update the phase structure in `.planning/ROADMAP.md`.
- →Reset `.planning/STATE.md` for a new milestone.
How it works
The skill executes a new-milestone workflow that involves questioning, optional research, requirements gathering, and roadmap creation, updating relevant project documentation files.
Inputs & outputs

About this skill
<codex_skill_adapter>
A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-new-milestone. - Treat all user text after
$gsd-new-milestoneas{{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>
Brownfield equivalent of new-project. Project exists, PROJECT.md has history. Gathers "what's next", updates PROJECT.md, then runs requirements → roadmap cycle.
Creates/Updates:
.planning/PROJECT.md— updated with new milestone goals.planning/research/— domain research (optional, NEW features only).planning/REQUIREMENTS.md— scoped requirements for this milestone.planning/ROADMAP.md— phase structure (continues numbering).planning/STATE.md— reset for new milestone
After: $gsd-plan-phase [N] to start execution.

When not to use it
- →When starting a completely new project.
- →When the user wants to start execution of a phase.
- →When the user wants to select a model for a task.
Limitations
- →It does not create new projects.
- →It does not start phase execution.
- →It requires user input for ambiguous phase scope.
How it compares
This skill automates the structured initiation of a new milestone within an existing project, ensuring all relevant documentation is updated and aligned, unlike a manual process that might miss steps.
