## 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 - E

What does the sprint-plan skill do?
Plan a sprint with capacity estimation, story selection, dependency mapping, and risk identification. Use when preparing for sprint planning, estimating team capacity, selecting stories, or balancing sprint scope against velocity.
How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From phuryn/pm-skills, a repository with 24,843 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
