ijfw-new-milestone

ijfw-new-milestone is a skill for Claude Code from FerroxLabs/ijfw. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,781 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-planning tool for starting the next milestone in an existing project. A milestone is a defined chunk of work, such as a software release, book chapter, or campaign wave.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to begin a later release or iteration, such as version 1.3 after version 1.2. It reviews project records, determines the next milestone identifier, and helps create its scope and plan.
Why use it?
It carries forward the project's roadmap, previous results, pending work, and lessons instead of planning the next chunk from scratch. This keeps the new scope connected to what has already shipped.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ijfw-new-milestone scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

IJFW New Milestone

Kick off a new milestone cycle on an existing project. Brownfield equivalent of project bootstrap: project exists, prior milestones shipped, you need a scoped plan for the next iteration.

Domain-agnostic. Works for software releases (v1.2 → v1.3), book chapters (Ch 4 → Ch 5), campaign waves (Wave 2 → Wave 3), design-system tiers (Foundation → Components → Patterns).

Optional $ARGUMENTS: milestone name (e.g. v1.6 Notifications, Chapter 5: Adversarial Models). Ask inline if absent.

1 — Load prior context

Read in order:

  • .planning/PROJECT.md — core value, validated outcomes, decisions
  • .planning/ROADMAP.md — what shipped, last milestone number/name
  • .planning/MILESTONES.md — historical log (if present)
  • .planning/STATE.md — pending todos, blockers carried forward
  • Latest .planning/<prior-milestone>/LEARNINGS.md (if present) — dispatch ijfw-extract-learnings agent on the prior milestone first if missing; learnings inform what to do differently this cycle.

If .planning/ROADMAP.md is absent, dispatch ijfw-roadmapper agent to scaffold one from PROJECT.md, then resume here.

2 — Determine next milestone identifier

Parse the last milestone from MILESTONES.md or ROADMAP.md. Suggest the next per project convention:

  • Semver: v1.5 → v1.6 (minor) / v1.5 → v2.0 (major)
  • Chapter / Wave: N → N+1
  • Free-form: ask the user

Confirm before writing anything.

3 — Gather scope (adaptive)

Ask one open question: What do you want to ship in this milestone? (one sentence)

Then probe by domain bucket (pick what fits, skip the rest):

  • Capabilities — new functionality / features / chapters / campaign assets
  • Quality — coverage, perf, accessibility, edit passes, brand consistency
  • Trust — security, audits, fact-checks, compliance, source alignment
  • Ecosystem — integrations, partners, distribution channels, platform support
  • Reduction — deprecations, cuts, tightening, scope-creep kills

Per activated bucket ask: Table stakes vs differentiators? Table stakes go in; differentiators debated.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
