SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps engineers quickly prepare a clear, Slack-ready sprint plan by auditing Jira boards, surfacing highlights and at-risk work, and drafting both a short channel TLDR and a detailed thread update so updates are consistent and easy to post.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover active and future Platform and Product sprints in the SAAS project and identify current and next sprint assignments for a specified engineer.
  • Aggregate ticket status internally, group completed work into highlight categories, identify carryovers with explicit reasons, and summarize next-sprint items and upcoming challenges.
  • Conduct an interactive four-question dialog with the engineer to collect human-selected highlights, carryover explanations, next-sprint priorities, and risks, then produce a two-part Slack-ready message (TLDR + full thread) formatted for posting.
  • Use case: an engineer uses the skill before sprint planning to auto-generate the standard sprint update message for #commcare-tech-sprint-grooming-and-planning, calling out blockers that need attention.

Quick Start

Run the sprint-prep skill with an engineer name or omit the argument to self-assign, for example: /sprint-prep Graham.
