Objective

Create a project board (milestone-based since Forgejo Projects API is unavailable) to track WardrobeAI development phases and issue status.

Approach

Since Forgejo Projects API returns 404, use milestones as pipeline stages:

Milestones as Project Columns

📋 Phase 0: Foundation — Research, planning, setup
🔧 Phase 1: MVP — Core features, Amazon integration, deploy
🚀 Phase 2: Growth — Algorithm improvements, vendor expansion
📈 Phase 3: Scale — Warehousing, mobile app, 500+ users
🌐 Phase 4: Expansion — Men's line, international, Series A

Issue Organization

Each issue gets:

Label (market/feature/engineering/business/legal)
Milestone (phase assignment)
Assignee (when work starts)

Re-groomed: Outcome-based format

What "done" looks like

Issues in the Wardrobe AI repo are organized into clear categories (Feature, Bug, Engineering, Business) with prioritized milestones. A new contributor can glance at the board and know what's in progress, what's next, and what's blocked. No more 31 open issues with no clear priority.

Outcome

Engineering work is visible and sequenced
Scott can see status without asking
Dependencies are clear (e.g., auth before deployment)

Context

Current state: 31 open issues, no labels on most, no milestones
Existing labels: market, feature, engineering, business, legal, improvement
Need: milestones for Phase 0 (foundation), Phase 1 (MVP), Phase 2 (growth)
Priority: P0 (blocking), P1 (next), P2 (future)

Agent should know

This is a meta/organization task
Don't create issues — organize existing ones
Close duplicates and stale issues
Create 3 milestones: Phase 0, Phase 1, Phase 2
Assign issues to milestones based on current state

Verification

All open issues have at least one label
Issues are assigned to milestones
Duplicate/stale issues are closed
Board view is readable
