Restructure milestone plan into phase files; /execute-milestones now requires a phase file

Browse Source 
- /plan-milestones groups milestones into phases and generates one file per phase (phase1-milestones.md, phase2-milestones.md, ...) plus roadmap.md; milestone numbering stays global across phases
- /execute-milestones takes a required phase file argument (phase1-milestones.md | full path | phase1 | 1) and executes only that file's milestones one by one; with no argument it lists available phase files and stops; closes the phase in the roadmap when done
- milestone-planning skill/template rewritten around the Phase > Milestone > Feature hierarchy; milestone-execution skill scoped to one phase file per run
- /add-feature, CLAUDE.md, README, and docs/milestones/README.md updated to phase-file references

# Milestone Planning Skill
This skill explains how to break a product into ordered milestones and produce milestone documents under `docs/milestones/`. The documents are the bridge between the specification (`docs/`) and implementation (`/add-feature`): every feature in every milestone is sized to be implemented with **one `/add-feature` run**.
This skill explains how to break a product into ordered **phases** and **milestones**, and produce one phase file per phase under `docs/milestones/`. The documents are the bridge between the specification (`docs/`) and implementation: every feature in every milestone is sized to be implemented with **one `/add-feature` run**, and every phase file is sized to be executed with **one `/execute-milestones` run**.
## Hierarchy
```
Roadmap (roadmap.md)
└── Phase (phase[N]-milestones.md — the /execute-milestones unit)
└── Milestone (numbered globally: 01, 02, …)
└── Feature (the /add-feature unit)
```
## Core Principles
1. **MVP first**: Milestone 1 is the smallest coherent, end-to-end usable product. Not a layer (e.g. "all the models"), but a vertical slice a user could actually use.
1. **MVP first**: Phase 1 delivers the MVP; milestone 1 is its core — the smallest coherent, end-to-end usable product. Not a layer (e.g. "all the models"), but a vertical slice a user could actually use.
2. **Vertical slices**: Each feature cuts through UI → logic → data. Avoid horizontal milestones like "backend milestone" / "frontend milestone".
3. **One feature = one `/add-feature` run**: If a feature needs more than one steering directory to implement, split it. If it is a one-line change, merge it into a neighbor.
4. **Dependency order**: A feature never lands in an earlier milestone than something it depends on.
5. **Exactly-once assignment**: Every feature belongs to exactly one milestone. Deliberately deferred items go to the roadmap's "Later / Icebox" — nothing silently disappears.
6. **Living documents**: Milestone documents track status. `/add-feature` checks off a feature (`[ ]` → `[x]`) when it completes, and the roadmap status is updated when a milestone finishes.
4. **One phase file = one `/execute-milestones` run**: A phase groups 1–3 milestones that together form a meaningful release.
5. **Dependency order**: A feature never lands in an earlier milestone than something it depends on, and a milestone never lands in an earlier phase than its dependencies.
6. **Exactly-once assignment**: Every feature belongs to exactly one milestone; every milestone to exactly one phase file. Deliberately deferred items go to the roadmap's "Later / Icebox" — nothing silently disappears.
7. **Living documents**: Phase files track status. `/add-feature` and `/execute-milestones` check off features (`[ ]` → `[x]`) as they complete, and milestone/phase statuses are updated in both the phase file and `roadmap.md`.

## How to Slice Features
@ -54,27 +64,31 @@ A well-sized feature:
Too big (split it): "User management" → "Register account", "Log in / log out", "Edit user profile", "Reset password".
Too small (merge it): "Change button color" → fold into the feature that owns that screen.
## How to Group Milestones
## How to Group Milestones and Phases
1. Tag every feature with its PRD priority and its dependencies.
2. Milestone 1 (MVP): the minimal dependency-closed set of P0 features that forms a usable product walk-through (a user can start, do the core job, and finish).
3. Following milestones: group remaining features by theme and priority, keeping each milestone a meaningful release on its own ("after milestone N ships, the user can additionally …").
4. Prefer 2–4 milestones with 3–8 features each. More than ~8 features in one milestone usually means it should be split.
2. Milestone 1 (MVP core): the minimal dependency-closed set of P0 features that forms a usable product walk-through (a user can start, do the core job, and finish).
3. Following milestones: group remaining features by theme and priority, keeping each milestone a meaningful step on its own ("after milestone N, the user can additionally …"). Prefer 3–8 features per milestone.
4. **Phase 1** contains milestone 1 plus any milestone required to make the MVP releasable. **Following phases** group the remaining milestones into meaningful releases — prefer 2–3 phases with 1–3 milestones each.
5. A phase should be independently valuable: after `/execute-milestones phase[N]-milestones.md` finishes, the product is in a releasable state.
## Status Tracking Rules
- Feature status lives **only** in the feature checkbox of its milestone document.
- Milestone status (`Not started` / `In progress` / `Completed`) lives in both the milestone document header and the roadmap table — keep them in sync.
- `/add-feature` Step 8 updates the feature checkbox and, when the last feature of a milestone completes, the milestone and roadmap statuses.
- Re-planning (adding/moving/removing features) must update both the milestone document(s) and `roadmap.md` in the same change.
- Feature status lives **only** in the feature checkbox inside its phase file.
- Milestone status (`Not started` / `In progress` / `Completed`) lives in the milestone's section of the phase file **and** in the roadmap table — keep them in sync.
- Phase status lives in the phase file header **and** in the roadmap table.
- `/add-feature` Step 8 updates the feature checkbox; `/execute-milestones` additionally updates milestone and phase statuses and the roadmap pointers.
- Re-planning (adding/moving/removing features or milestones) must update both the affected phase file(s) and `roadmap.md` in the same change.
## Consistency Checklist
Before finishing:
- [ ] Every P0/P1 PRD requirement maps to a feature in some milestone (or is explicitly in the icebox).
- [ ] Every feature appears in exactly one milestone.
- [ ] No feature precedes one of its dependencies.
- [ ] Milestone 1 is a usable end-to-end product on its own.
- [ ] Every feature appears in exactly one milestone; every milestone in exactly one phase file.
- [ ] Milestone numbering is global and consecutive across phase files.
- [ ] No feature or milestone precedes one of its dependencies.
- [ ] Phase 1 delivers a usable end-to-end MVP on its own.
- [ ] Every feature has acceptance criteria and a ready-to-run `/add-feature` command line.
- [ ] `roadmap.md` table matches the milestone documents (names, counts, statuses).
- [ ] Every phase file header has its ready-to-run `/execute-milestones` command line.
- [ ] `roadmap.md` table matches the phase files (names, counts, statuses).
