SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates uncertainty about how a sprint is progressing by quickly summarizing sprint goal progress, story/task status, burndown signals, and emerging risks from the repository’s sprint plan and story markers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sprint selection and parsing: Finds the requested sprint file (by number) or the most recently modified sprint, then extracts goal and task entries.
  • Status sourcing with graceful fallback: Uses production/sprint-status.yaml when present as the authoritative source; otherwise infers status by scanning referenced story/task files for DONE/IN PROGRESS/BLOCKED/NOT STARTED markers.
  • Burndown and escalation signals: Computes days remaining, completion vs time-consumed alignment, flags STALE in-progress work (based on update timestamps), and emits at-risk/critical guidance when thresholds are crossed.
  • Read-only safety: Performs reporting only—no file writes, no proposed changes.

Quick Start

Run /sprint-status to get the current sprint’s progress snapshot with burndown assessment and any at-risk or stale items.

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 sprint progress snapshot from my repository?

To get a sprint progress snapshot, the tool parses your sprint plan file and scans story task status markers. It computes completion metrics, days remaining, and burndown signals to provide a concise read-only status update.

How does sprint burndown tracking work without a dedicated reporting tool?

Sprint burndown tracking works by reading sprint-status.yaml or scanning story files for DONE, IN PROGRESS, BLOCKED, and NOT STARTED markers. It then calculates completion versus time consumed to detect alignment issues and emit escalation flags.

Can I track sprint status for a specific sprint number?

Yes, you can track sprint status for a specific sprint number by requesting it directly. If no number is specified, the tool automatically targets the most recently updated sprint file in your repository.

How do you detect stale in-progress work during a sprint check-in?

Stale in-progress work is detected by evaluating update timestamps on story and task files. When items remain in progress beyond expected thresholds, the snapshot flags them as STALE and emits at-risk or critical guidance.

Does sprint status reporting modify any project tracking files?

No, sprint status reporting is strictly read-only and performs no file writes or proposed changes. It only reads sprint plans and task markers to generate burndown metrics, escalation flags, and a single recommendation.

What is the best way to assess sprint risk and completion metrics quickly?

The best way to assess sprint risk is to run an automated snapshot that computes days remaining, completion alignment, and stale work flags. It emits escalation guidance when thresholds are crossed, providing a fast read-only assessment.
