What does this skill do?

The Sprint Planning skill helps an agent turn an unorganized backlog into a structured, executable sprint plan — the kind of preparation a scrum master runs.

It produces five outputs: a single measurable sprint goal, a prioritized backlog with story-point estimates, a realistic capacity breakdown, flagged risks and dependencies, and a structured two-hour meeting agenda.

It calibrates capacity to real availability, commits to about 80% of capacity for slack, and splits stories over eight points before they enter the sprint.

  • Crafts an outcome-focused, measurable sprint goal

  • Builds a velocity-calibrated, estimated backlog

  • Plans capacity for real availability and carryover

  • Surfaces risks and produces a planning agenda

How it works

1

Gather inputs

The agent collects sprint duration, team size, historical velocity, top priorities, known absences, and carry-over items.

2

Calculate capacity

It applies the capacity formula — focus hours, availability factor, and carryover deductions — for a realistic number.

3

Set the goal and estimate

It crafts a measurable sprint goal, calibrates story points, splits any 8+ pointers, and assigns owners and acceptance criteria.

4

Surface risks and plan the meeting

It flags blockers and dependencies with mitigations and builds a structured two-hour planning agenda.

Best use cases for this skill

  • Sprint planning: Turn a backlog into an executable sprint plan.

  • Capacity planning: Calculate realistic capacity for the team's availability.

  • Sprint goals: Write measurable, outcome-focused sprint goals.

  • Planning meetings: Prepare a structured two-hour planning agenda.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Sprint Planning skill do?

It structures and facilitates sprint planning, producing a sprint goal, a velocity-calibrated backlog, a capacity plan, risk flags, and a structured planning-meeting agenda.

When should an agent use it?

Use it to plan a sprint, organize backlog items, assign story points, create sprint goals, or prepare a sprint planning agenda.

How does it plan capacity?

It applies a capacity formula for focus hours and availability, deducts carryover, and commits to about 80% of capacity to preserve slack for unplanned work.

How does it handle large stories?

It flags and splits any story estimated above eight points before it enters the sprint, and flags stories missing acceptance criteria as blockers.
