Documentation

README

Excerpt

Produce an onboarding doc for someone joining mid-stream. Output: .planning/<milestone>/SUMMARY.md.

Domain-agnostic: "what shipped" means chapters drafted for a book, launches that landed for a campaign, features released for software, episodes recorded for a podcast. Adapt the noun to the project type.

Step 1 -- Resolve milestone

Argument is the milestone slug (e.g. 1.5.0, q2-launch, book-draft-2). If absent:

Read .ijfw/state/workflow.json -- use the current milestone field.
Else read .planning/ROADMAP.md -- pick the active milestone.
Else list directories under .planning/ and ask which one.

Set MS="<resolved-slug>". Set OUT=".planning/${MS}/SUMMARY.md".

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
