SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Sprint teams often need an immediate answer to how the sprint is going, but manually reviewing plans and story files is slow and error-prone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Instant sprint progress snapshot: Reads the current sprint plan and story files to summarize progress concisely (kept to 30 lines).
  • Status truth with fallback: Prefers production/sprint-status.yaml as the authoritative source, then falls back to lightweight markdown scanning when it’s missing.
  • Burndown + risk assessment: Computes completion vs time consumed to label On Track, At Risk, or Behind, and escalates if in-progress stories appear stale.

Quick Start

Ask for a sprint update by running /sprint-status with no argument to check the current sprint.

Frequently Asked Questions about sprint-status

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a quick sprint health snapshot from markdown story files?

To get a sprint health snapshot, this tool reads your sprint plan and story status sources from disk. It uses production/sprint-status.yaml as the authoritative status source, falling back to lightweight markdown scanning when that file is missing.

How does burndown calculation and risk escalation work for ongoing sprints?

Burndown calculation works by computing story completion percentages against time consumed in the sprint. Risk escalation triggers when in-progress stories appear stale, labeling the sprint as On Track, At Risk, or Behind.

What's the best way to check sprint progress without manually reviewing story files?

The best way to check sprint progress is to request a sprint update, which scans your production/sprints/ directory to locate files and summarizes progress concisely in a snapshot kept to thirty lines.

Can I check the status of a specific sprint number or only the current one?

You can check a specific sprint number by providing it as an argument when requesting a sprint update. Running without an argument defaults to checking the current ongoing sprint's health and progress.

Do I need a sprint-status.yaml file to generate a sprint update?

You do not need a sprint-status.yaml file to generate a sprint update. The tool prefers it as the authoritative source but performs status, staleness, and burndown calculations by falling back to lightweight markdown scanning.

Why does my sprint update show a stale story risk escalation?

A stale story risk escalation appears because the status assessment detected in-progress stories that have not been updated recently. This mechanism flags potential delays by computing completion versus time consumed.
