milestone-runner

milestone-runner is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 76 tokens per session (6,481 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow tool for carrying out an existing sequence of development milestones in a repository. It coordinates design checks, implementation, verification, code review, merging, cleanup, and release preparation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run milestone prompts, coordinate independent milestones, reconcile an outdated plan, verify changes and CI, merge a release sequence, or prepare the result for release.
Why use it?
It helps teams execute dependent work in the right order and stop when the current plan or evidence does not support continuing.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

milestone-runner 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Milestone Runner

Run milestone prompts produced by plan-prompts. The runner coordinates mandatory design reconciliation, dependency-safe execution, verification, CI, review, merge/cleanup, and release preparation.

The runner executes existing prompts; it does not author a new product plan. It may require a docs-only reconciliation PR when the current plan no longer matches repository evidence. It invokes stacked-prs for stack topology. Only after a complete release train requires preparation does it hand the train's source-traceable release target to the release-captain agent, which edits the release artifacts and publishes them through ship-workflow only until the PR exists.

Core model

A milestone has two independent gates:

  1. Design gate. Before implementation, inspect the authoritative plan/prompt, current codebase, merged predecessor diffs, predecessor verification, CI, and local history. Require DESIGN GO or stop on DESIGN NO-GO.
  2. Merge gate. After implementation, require release-aware GO plus external PR, CI, verification, and review evidence.

An ignored history ledger is reconstructible local evidence, not authoritative state. .docs/DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md and .docs/EXECUTION_PROMPTS.md, merged PRs, CI, and current code remain authoritative.

Every terminal milestone result must print the literal heading NEXT STEPS: followed by concrete, ordered actions: the current milestone action, release-preparation state, and the next runnable milestone. A NO-GO must name remediation and either an independent milestone that can proceed or the reason no milestone can. A prose follow-up or JSON next_steps key is insufficient.

Evidence Use
Authoritative plan and prompts Build the DAG, release trains, milestone contract, and design-gate scope.
Local history ledger Carry prior gate decisions and verified outcomes; rebuild it when absent.
Current code plus merged predecessor diffs and PR evidence Validate the plan’s assumptions, interfaces, dependencies, and acceptance.
CI/check state and verification commands Confirm predecessor outcomes, reconciliation PRs, and implementation stacks.
Provider PR metadata Confirm bases, reviewed reconciliation, stack topology, and merge state.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
