SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping sprint status visible without a dedicated project management tool is hard when tasks live scattered across notes and chats. This Skill manages a file-based Scrum board stored in the .scrum/ directory, so task status, priorities, and assignments stay versioned alongside the code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Board Overview: Reads all task files across backlog, in-progress, review, and done folders and renders a status table with priorities, assignees, and linked GitHub issues. - Task Lifecycle Management: Moves tasks between status folders, updates the YAML frontmatter, and verifies acceptance criteria before marking tasks done. - Task Creation: Generates new task files with sequential FEAT-XXX IDs, structured frontmatter, descriptions, and acceptance criteria. - Use Case: A developer starts the day by asking for the current sprint status, sees three tasks in progress and one blocked, then creates a new high-priority bugfix task directly in the backlog without leaving the editor. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the current sprint board status from the .scrum directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage a sprint board without Jira or Trello?

Store tasks as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter in status-based folders like backlog, in-progress, review, and done. This Skill reads those files, renders a board overview, and moves tasks between folders as work progresses.

How do I create a new sprint task from the command line?

Run the create command with a task title. The Skill assigns the next sequential FEAT-XXX ID, prompts for priority and acceptance criteria, and writes a structured Markdown file into the backlog folder.

Can a file-based task board link to GitHub issues?

Yes, each task file includes a github_issues field in its YAML frontmatter. The board overview displays linked issue numbers next to each task, and the status summary reports on their state.

What happens when a task is moved to done?

The Skill moves the file into the done folder, updates the status field in the frontmatter, and checks whether all acceptance criteria checkboxes are marked complete before finalizing the transition.

What are the limitations of a file-based Scrum board?

File-based boards lack real-time collaboration, notifications, and burndown charts found in dedicated tools. They work best for small teams already working in a shared repository who want tasks versioned with code.
