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

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

Think step by step. Save as markdown.

Domain Identification Grouping

Groups existing components into logical business domains to plan service-based architecture. Use when asking "which components belong together?", "group these into services", "organize by domain", "component-to-domain mapping", or planning service extraction from an existing codebase. Do NOT use for identifying new domains from scratch (use domain-analysis) or analyzing coupling (use coupling-analysis).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take phuryn/sprint-plan from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
