SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the tedious and error-prone process of producing, updating, and validating sprint plans and their machine-readable status artifacts so teams can reliably plan capacity, surface risks, and enforce QA and producer gates before work begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-mode planning: Create a new sprint plan, update an existing plan, or generate a sprint status report from repository milestones, previous sprints, design docs, and the risk register.
  • Governance gates: Runs producer feasibility checks and enforces QA-plan presence with explicit user prompts and review modes (solo, lean, full) before writing files.
  • Machine-readable tracking: Emits and updates production/sprint-status.yaml to serve as the canonical source of story statuses for downstream commands and UIs.
  • Controlled writes: Asks for write permission before persisting sprint markdown or status YAML and surfaces recommended actions for scope checks and QA follow-up.

Quick Start

Request a new sprint plan for the current milestone and run producer and QA gates by asking the skill to generate a new sprint in your chosen review mode.

Frequently Asked Questions about sprint-plan

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a sprint plan from backlog and milestone data?

To generate a sprint plan, the skill ingests repository milestones, previous sprint statuses, design docs, and risk registers to produce a structured markdown plan. It assesses capacity and feasibility before finalizing the output.

What is a QA gate in agile sprint planning?

A QA gate in sprint planning is an enforced checkpoint verifying that a QA-plan is present before work begins. The skill prompts users to validate QA readiness during review modes like solo, lean, or full.

How do I update machine-readable sprint status artifacts?

You can update sprint status artifacts by running the update mode, which modifies the production/sprint-status.yaml file. It serves as the canonical source for story statuses and requires write approval before persisting.

Can I perform producer feasibility checks during capacity planning?

Yes, you can perform producer feasibility checks during capacity planning. The skill evaluates project risks and scope against available capacity to determine if the proposed sprint goals are achievable.

Does sprint planning work without a pre-existing risk register?

Sprint planning can technically run without a risk register, but it relies heavily on milestone, design, and risk-register files to accurately assess feasibility and surface potential blockers during the producer review.
