Primary planning branch after /shape for major-tranche work that requires multiple independent PRDs. Use to create a GitHub milestone plus sequenced feature issues that will later mature from roadmap bet to research-ready to prd. Not for single-feature shaping, single-PRD big-batch work (which gets a container milestone from /write-a-prd), decomposition of a finished PRD, or implementation-ready work.

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

# Create Milestone

This skill bridges the gap between tranche-level shaping and feature-level delivery. Use it when `/shape` clarified work that requires multiple independent PRDs — the result is too large or too decomposable for one PRD. The goal is to create just enough GitHub-native structure to sequence feature bets, pick a tracer bullet, and let the selected feature re-enter the normal pipeline with a researchable brief.

> **One question per turn.** When confirming the branch, reviewing bets, or asking the user anything, ask one question at a time and wait for the answer before asking the next. Never batch questions into a list.
>
> **Prefer single-select.** Use single-select multiple choice when the user is choosing one direction, one priority, or one next step.
>
> **Use multi-select rarely.** Reserve it for compatible sets — goals, constraints, non-goals, success criteria — that can all coexist. If prioritization matters, follow up asking which selected item is primary.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/create-milestone@sha256:bec1f0569c8228da

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.d548445, 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.
