SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Sprint workflow design can be error-prone and inconsistent; this skill provides a structured guide to author, validate, and reuse .claude/workflows/ definitions for Claude Code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and validate .claude/workflows/ files with proper frontmatter and phase schemas.
  • Support both simple and for-each phases, including nested references and templates.
  • Use standard templates and references to accelerate workflow design and debugging.

Quick Start

Create a new workflow YAML under .claude/workflows/ describing your sprint plan, then reference it from a top-level sprint to test end-to-end execution. Use the included references to align with established patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define a sprint workflow in Claude Code?

You define a sprint workflow by authoring a YAML file under `.claude/workflows/`, using a structured schema with required frontmatter and phase definitions to ensure consistent execution patterns.

What is a for-each iteration phase in a Claude Code workflow?

A for-each iteration phase is a workflow execution pattern in `.claude/workflows/` definitions that allows repeated execution of steps across multiple items or nested workflow references.

How do I validate workflow YAML files for sprint planning?

You validate workflow YAML files by applying the enforced validation rules and required fields from the `.claude/workflows/` schema, ensuring structural consistency and preventing errors across sprint definitions.

Can I use templates to accelerate workflow design in Claude Code?

Yes, you can use standard templates and references to accelerate `.claude/workflows/` design, aligning new sprint definitions with established patterns for simple phases and for-each iterations.

How do I reference nested workflows in a sprint definition?

You reference nested workflows within your top-level `.claude/workflows/` YAML file to modularize per-step execution patterns, allowing the top-level sprint to trigger established sub-workflow definitions.
