Our review

Analyzes and summarizes the status of a GitHub milestone by version number, or lists all open milestones.

Strengths

  • Structured report with issue progress (open/closed)
  • Automatic mode detection (status vs list)
  • Extraction of key issues marked with 🎯 emoji
  • Native GitHub API usage for up-to-date data

Limitations

  • Limited to the `zeroae/zae-limiter` repository (specific fork)
  • Requires a GitHub token with milestone access
  • No support for closed milestones in list mode
When to use it

When you need to check the progress of an upcoming release or list open milestones in a repository.

When not to use it

If the repository does not follow the 'v' version convention or if you need historical data on closed milestones.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

This skill only uses read-only GitHub CLI commands (gh api, gh issue list, gh issue view) against a specific repository. There is no execution of arbitrary code, network requests outside GitHub's API, or modification of data. The allowed tools are non-destructive and safe for automated use.

Milestone Skill

Analyze and summarize GitHub milestone status.

Modes

| Mode | Trigger | Purpose | |------|---------|---------| | Status | /milestone 1.0.0, /milestone v0.7.0 | Analyze specific milestone | | List | /milestone list, /milestone (no args) | Show all open milestones |

Mode Detection

  1. If version number provided (e.g., 1.0.0, v0.7.0, 0.5) → Status mode
  2. If list keyword → List mode
  3. If no arguments → List mode

Status Mode

Extract the version from the user input. Normalize it (add "v" prefix if missing, e.g., 1.0.0 → v1.0.0).

Run these commands (replace VERSION with the normalized version):

Step 1: Get milestone details:

gh api repos/zeroae/zae-limiter/milestones --jq '.[] | select(.title == "VERSION") | {title, description, state, open_issues, closed_issues}'

Step 2: List all issues:

gh issue list --milestone "VERSION" --state all --json number,title,state,labels --jq '.[] | "\(.state)\t#\(.number)\t\(.title)"'

Step 3: If any issue title starts with "🎯", get its body:

gh issue view <number> --json title,body

See status.md for output format.

List Mode

Run this command:

gh api repos/zeroae/zae-limiter/milestones --jq '.[] | "- \(.title): \(.description)"'

Output the results.
