draft-milestone

draft-milestone is a skill for Claude Code from tomthebearded/guide-forge. It costs 112 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide-drafting skill that turns an approved learning plan into small teaching files, usually covering every milestone unless a specific milestone is named. It is intended for learn-as-you-go software build guides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after approving a plan to create the milestone folders and step files for the full guide or for named milestones.
Why use it?
It breaks a large build plan into individual steps that are easier to follow, review, and revise. It also supports redrafting selected milestones when a step needs fixing.

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

draft-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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Skill: draft-milestone

The complete, canonical contract for this skill is the paste-prompt it wraps, inlined here — follow it in full:

!cat "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompt.md"

(If the block above came back empty or errored, read prompt.md in this skill folder — it sits beside this SKILL.md — and follow that.)

As you follow it, adapt for the fact that you're a Claude Code skill, not a pasted prompt:

  • You're already invoked — skip its "How to use / paste this" preamble. What to draft is $ARGUMENTS below (plus any attached reference files): empty → draft the whole guide (every milestone in the approved ladder); a milestone name (or list) → draft only those.
  • You have file tools here — where the prompt says to output the milestone files as fenced blocks, write them to disk in the milestone's folder (named per the canonical layout the prompt points to) instead, then summarize what you created.
  • Where the prompt hands off to another prompt by filename, use the sibling skill of the same name (/clarify-step, /review-before-follow, /audit-guide).

What to draft (empty = the whole guide):

$ARGUMENTS

Cadence: by default draft the whole guide — every milestone in the approved ladder, in order, back-to-back in one pass, without stopping between milestones. Each milestone is still a complete folder that honors the full contract, and each milestone's cumulative handoff feeds the next. Do not pause for the reader to "implement one" first — produce the finished guide, then the reader builds against it and verifies each Done-when gate as they go. Only when $ARGUMENTS names a specific milestone (or list) do you draft just those — for re-drafting or fixing one milestone in an existing guide.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
