What sprint-plan does

The skill reads any supplied backlog, velocity data, team roster and previous sprint reports first. It then calculates available capacity around time off, meetings and on-call work, selects high-priority stories, and checks whether they are ready.

It maps story and external-team dependencies, marks the critical path, and records uncertainty or knowledge-concentration risks. The Markdown plan includes the sprint goal, selected stories, owners, dependencies and mitigations. The 15-20% buffer for unplanned work is a planning constraint, not spare capacity.

What it helps with

  • calculate team capacity around availability
  • select stories from a prioritised backlog
  • map story and external-team dependencies
  • identify the critical path
  • record risks with mitigations

Example prompts for the agent

  • “Plan a sprint from the attached backlog and velocity data.”
  • “Estimate team capacity for the next sprint and select stories.”
  • “Review this sprint plan for dependencies and risks.”

## Sprint Planning

Plan a sprint by estimating team capacity, selecting and sequencing stories, and identifying risks.

### Context

You are helping plan a sprint for **$ARGUMENTS**.

If the user provides files (backlogs, velocity data, team rosters, or previous sprint reports), read them first.

### Instructions

1. **Estimate team capacity**:
   - Number of team members and their availability (PTO, meetings, on-call)
   - Historical velocity (average story points per sprint from last 3 sprints)
   - Capacity buffer: reserve 15-20% for unexpected work, bugs, and tech debt
   - Calculate available capacity in story points or ideal hours

2. **Review and select stories**:
   - Pull from the prioritized backlog (highest priority first)
   - Verify each story meets the Definition of Ready (clear AC, estimated, no blockers)
   - Flag stories that need refinement before committing
   - Stop adding stories when capacity is reached

3. **Map dependencies**:
   - Identify stories that depend on other stories or external teams
   - Sequence dependent stories appropriately
   - Flag external dependencies and owners
   - Identify the critical path

4. **Identify risks and mitigations**:
   - Stories with high uncertainty or complexity
   - External dependencies that could slip
   - Knowledge concentration (only one person can do it)
   - Suggest mitigations for each risk

5. **Create the sprint plan summary**:

   ```
   Sprint Goal: [One sentence describing what success looks like]
   Duration: [2 weeks / 1 week / etc.]
   Team Capacity: [X story points]
   Committed Stories: [Y story points across Z stories]
   Buffer: [remaining capacity]

   Stories:
   1. [Story title] — [points] — [owner] — [dependencies]
   ...

   Risks:
   - [Risk] → [Mitigation]
   ```

6. **Define the sprint goal**: A single, clear sentence that captures the sprint's primary value delivery.

Think step by step. Save as markdown.
