You can automate milestone execution by driving discuss, plan, and execute cycles for each remaining phase. The workflow uses ROADMAP-driven phase discovery to autonomously process tasks and update project artifacts end-to-end.

During phased execution, the system automatically updates CONTEXT.md, ROADMAP.md, PLANs, SUMMARIES, and STATE.md files. These artifacts track phase state, roadmap progress, and generated outputs after each stage completes.

Autonomous workflow handles blockers by pausing execution only when necessary to preserve progress. It stops exclusively for required approvals or blockers, allowing the rest of the milestone phases to run uninterrupted.

Yes, a ROADMAP.md file is required for autonomous milestone management. The workflow relies on ROADMAP-driven phase discovery to identify remaining phases and orchestrate the subsequent discuss, plan, and execute cycles.

To maintain a clean project state after completing milestones, the workflow automatically generates and cleans up phase artifacts. This ensures obsolete files are removed and final project states are properly recorded.

Autonomous project planning pauses during execution cycles specifically to handle blockers and approvals. This targeted pausing preserves progress without halting the overall end-to-end milestone workflow unnecessarily.
