sprint-plan

name: sprint-plan type: workflow description: "Generates or updates sprint plans with task breakdowns, capacity estimates, dependencies, and risk flags based on milestone goals and past velocity. Use when starting a new sprint, updating sprint progress, or checking sprint status." argument-hint: "[new|update|status]" user-invocable: true allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit context: | !ls production/sprints/ 2>/dev/null effort: 3 when_to_use: "Use when starting a new sprint, updating sprint progress mid-sprint, or checking current sprint status against milestone goals."

When this skill is invoked:

1. Read the current milestone from production/milestones/.

2. Read the previous sprint (if any) from production/sprints/ to understand velocity and carryover. Use Glob("production/sprints/*.md") then read the file with the highest sprint number.

3. Scan design documents in design/ for features tagged as ready for implementation.

4. Check the risk register at production/risk-register/ if it exists.

For new:

1. Determine sprint number — count existing files in production/sprints/ and increment by 1. Sprint N = number of existing sprint files + 1.

2. Generate a sprint plan following this format, then save to production/sprints/sprint-{N}.md (confirm path with user before writing):

# Sprint [N] -- [Start Date] to [End Date]

## Sprint Goal
[One sentence describing what this sprint achieves toward the milestone]

## Capacity
- Total days: [X]
- Buffer (20%): [Y days reserved for unplanned work]
- Available: [Z days]

## Tasks

### Must Have (Critical Path)
| ID | Task | Agent/Owner | Est. Days | Dependencies | Acceptance Criteria |
|----|------|-------------|-----------|-------------|-------------------|

### Should Have
| ID | Task | Agent/Owner | Est. Days | Dependencies | Acceptance Criteria |
|----|------|-------------|-----------|-------------|-------------------|

### Nice to Have
| ID | Task | Agent/Owner | Est. Days | Dependencies | Acceptance Criteria |
|----|------|-------------|-----------|-------------|-------------------|

## Carryover from Previous Sprint
| Task | Reason | New Estimate |
|------|--------|-------------|

## Risks
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|------------|--------|------------|

## Dependencies on External Factors
- [List any external dependencies]

## Definition of Done for this Sprint
- [ ] All Must Have tasks completed
- [ ] All tasks pass acceptance criteria
- [ ] No S1 or S2 bugs in delivered features
- [ ] Design documents updated for any deviations
- [ ] Code reviewed and merged

For update:

1. Identify the current sprint file — find the latest file in production/sprints/ (highest sprint number). Read it.

2. Ask the user which task(s) to update: task ID, new status (done / in-progress / blocked), and any notes or blocker details.

3. Edit the sprint file in place using the Edit tool:

   • Move completed tasks to the "Completed" section if tracking status inline
   • Add blocker info to the Blocked table
   • Update % Done estimates for in-progress tasks

4. Append a brief update log at the bottom of the file:

   ## Update Log
   - [YYYY-MM-DD]: [Summary of changes made]
   

5. Confirm the edit to the user: "Sprint {N} updated — {X} task(s) changed."

For status:

1. Generate a status report:

# Sprint [N] Status -- [Date]

## Progress: [X/Y tasks complete] ([Z%])

### Completed
| Task | Completed By | Notes |
|------|-------------|-------|

### In Progress
| Task | Owner | % Done | Blockers |
|------|-------|--------|----------|

### Not Started
| Task | Owner | At Risk? | Notes |
|------|-------|----------|-------|

### Blocked
| Task | Blocker | Owner of Blocker | ETA |
|------|---------|-----------------|-----|

Agent Consultation

For comprehensive sprint planning, consider consulting:

• producer agent for capacity planning, risk assessment, and cross-department coordination
• product-manager agent for feature prioritization and design readiness assessment

Protocol

• Question: Reads mode from argument (new / update / status); update mode asks which tasks changed
• Options: Skip — mode drives execution path
• Decision: update mode — user specifies task IDs, new status, and blocker details
• Draft: Plan or status report shown in conversation before writing
• Approval: "May I write to production/sprints/sprint-[N].md?"

Output

Deliver exactly:

• new: Sprint file saved to production/sprints/sprint-[N].md with Must Have / Should Have / Nice to Have tasks, estimates, and risks
• update: In-place edit to current sprint file + update log entry appended
• status: Status report with progress %, completed/in-progress/blocked tables, and burndown assessment
• Next action: One sentence on what the team should do immediately
