The millisecond proto-magnetar model for the central engine of long-duration gamma-ray bursts is briefly reviewed. Limitations and uncertainties in the model are highlighted. A short discussion of the maximum energy, maximum duration, radiative efficiency, jet formation mechanism, late-time energy injection, and (non-)association with supernovae of millisecond magnetar-powered GRBs is provided.
