sprint-planning
Structure and facilitate sprint planning sessions. Use when asked to plan a sprint, organise backlog items, assign story points, create sprint goals, or prepare sprint planning agendas. Produces a sprint goal, velocity-calibrated backlog, capacity plan, risk flags, and a structured sprint planning meeting agenda.

# Sprint Planning Skill Transform raw backlog items into a structured, achievable sprint with clear goals, velocity-calibrated scope, and team-ready output. ## Reads from / Writes to the Brain If a [`professional-brain`](../professional-brain/SKILL.md) (`brain/`) exists, ground in it instead of re-asking for what you already know: - **Read first:** priority `decisions/` (what the team agreed matters), feature `entities/`, and open `hypotheses/` the sprint might test. Run `python3 ../professional-brain/scripts/brain_query.py ./brain "<sprint goal>"` and carry each fact's provenance tag through. - **📥 Propose to the Brain:** after producing, propose logging the sprint commitment (goal + committed scope) as a `decisions/` record, provenance-tagged. Show it, get a yes, then write with `../professional-brain/scripts/brain_write.py … --commit` (append-only, dry-run by default). ## Proposes Actions Once the sprint is agreed, hand it to [`action-runner`](../action-runner/SKILL.md): it previews (dry-run, risk-rated), runs only what you approve via the connected action MCP, and records what was done back to the brain. Typical: **create a ticket per committed backlog item** and **set the spr

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill sprint-planning --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 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.
