Structures multi-week work as a milestone with a roadmap, a short always-read STATE digest, phased executable PLAN files with YAML frontmatter and XML task bodies, wave-based parallel execution by fresh subagents, deviation rules, checkpoints, and SUMMARY files for cheap history. Use when scope exceeds about one week or eight tasks, or when starting a greenfield project.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Milestone Planning

`opm:writing-plans` handles a task list that fits in one head and one context window.
When the work is bigger than that (weeks, many tasks, several subsystems, or a blank repo) you
need a structure that survives context resets, lets independent work run in parallel, and leaves
a history the next session can read in under a minute. That structure is a milestone.

## When to use

- Estimated scope is more than about one week or more than about eight tasks.
- Greenfield project, or a feature that touches three or more subsystems.
- The work will span several sessions and someone (or some agent) will need to pick it up cold.

If in doubt, start with `opm:writing-plans`; promote to a milestone when the task list stops fitting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add harshadmadaye/opm/milestone-planning@sha256:20a3f7726794270b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.53e43d7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
