What problem does it solve?
It helps you turn completed sprint work into a better, more reliable outcome by scoping a focused improvement round (fixes, UX tweaks, and small feature additions) without destabilizing the broader plan.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided iteration interview: Runs a brief, structured conversation to clarify what to polish and to produce actionable checklist items.
- Guardrailed sprint readiness: Blocks polishing until all sprint checklist items are complete, unless the sprint has been explicitly re-opened via the close-sprint manifest mechanism.
- Living-documents discipline: Uses the living-documents protocol to avoid direct edits to approved scope/PRD/spec, routing changes into backlog/unvetted flow instead.
- Sprint artifacts updated safely: Appends a new
## Iteration N section to docs/sprint-N.md, updates docs/open-concerns.md, writes process notes to process-notes-sprint-N.md, and cleans up any polish resume file.
