sprint-planning
Plan a sprint — scope work, estimate capacity, set goals, and draft a sprint plan. Use when kicking off a new sprint, sizing a backlog against team availability (accounting for PTO and meetings), deciding what's P0 vs. stretch, or handling carryover from the last sprint.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured approach to sprint planning that includes capacity estimation, backlog prioritization, and risk identification, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
/sprint-planning If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md. Plan a sprint by scoping work, estimating capacity, and setting clear goals. Usage How It Works What I Need From You Team: Who's on the team and their availability this sprint? Sprint length: How many days/weeks? Backlog: What's prioritized? (Pull from tracker, paste, or describe) Carryover: Anything unfinished from last sprint? Dependencies: Anything blocked on other teams? Output Tips 1. Leave buffer — Plan to 70-80% capacity. You will get interrupts. 2. One clear sprint goal — If you can't state it in one sentence, the sprint is unfocused. 3. Identify stretch items — Know what to cut if things take longer than expected. 4. Carry over honestly — If something didn't ship, understand why before re-committing.
