new-sprint

A command that opens the next software sprint, a short planned period of development, by creating a written approval checklist and updating the sprint number.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a new sprint in a repository that follows this four-part planning process. It prepares the gate document, updates the current sprint record, and commits both changes.
Why use it?
It makes the problem, success measures, dependencies, steps, risks, and review point explicit before coding begins. A commit hook then blocks commits until the current sprint has an approved gate file.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 376 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

new-sprint scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/new-sprint — Open Next Sprint

Run this at the start of a new sprint to create the gate file and update state.

Steps

  1. Read docs/sprints/CURRENT_SPRINT.md — get current sprint number N

  2. The next sprint is N+1

  3. Create docs/sprints/sprint-[N+1]-gate.md by filling in all 4D sections:

    D1 — Define:

    • Exact problem in 1-2 sentences
    • "Done means" — 2-3 specific testable outcomes
    • Git tag target

    D2 — Detail:

    • All dependencies (credentials, APIs, services)
    • Edge cases and how to handle each
    • Token budget per operation

    D3 — Direct:

    • Step-by-step sequence (numbered)
    • Success criterion per step

    D4 — Dialogue:

    • What could go wrong + mitigation
    • Gaps to resolve before starting
    • Human review checkpoint
  4. Get explicit approval on D1-D4 before writing any code

  5. Update docs/sprints/CURRENT_SPRINT.md to N+1:

    echo "N+1" > docs/sprints/CURRENT_SPRINT.md
    
  6. Commit the gate file:

    rtk git add docs/sprints/sprint-[N+1]-gate.md docs/sprints/CURRENT_SPRINT.md
    rtk git commit -m "docs: open sprint N+1 gate — [brief description]"
    

Gate rule

The git pre-commit hook will block all commits if the current sprint's gate file is missing. The gate file must exist BEFORE any implementation work begins.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

new-sprint is a command published in the GitHub repository chrisdev1187/claude-code-forge (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 376 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
