sdlc-sprint is a command for Claude Code from MCKRUZ/claude-code-sdlc. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,484 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for managing a two-week sprint from setup through closure. It selects specifications from the backlog, tracks their readiness, and records which work was completed, carried forward, or dropped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and adjust a sprint slate, monitor whether its specifications are ready, and close the sprint with kept, carried, and dropped work.
Why use it?
It gives the team a single record of sprint commitments and prevents unfinished work from disappearing without a named person and reason.

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

sdlc-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 9d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/sdlc-sprint — Slate, Ready, and Close a Sprint

Run a two-week sprint as a commitment window over the backlog order: create the sprint record, slate a count of specs by risk-tier mix, watch the slate's readiness every day, mark the sprint ready once every slated spec clears the Definition of Ready and its Engineering and Data verdicts, and close it with kept / carried / dropped — each carry or drop by a named human, with a reason. The layer is additive and advisory: it never gates, is never gated, never moves a phase, and never writes state.yaml. Works inside an SDLC project or standalone against any repo with a specs/ directory.

The command owns sprint.py; the user never calls it directly. The pure rules (mix, ready rule, build order, forbidden metrics) live in references/sprint-model.md; the record template is templates/phases/build/sprint.md.

When it runs

/sdlc-sprint is not one moment. Different verbs belong to different points in the two-week rhythm:

Moment Verbs Who Companion
Setting up the next sprint — the current sprint's last week, at the Mon/Wed/Fri review new, slate, unslate Product proposes and confirms the slate /sdlc-refine --sprint drives the slated specs to READY and records the Eng/Data verdicts
Sprint planning meeting — day 0 ready (writes the planning page); plan re-renders it on demand a named human readies it; the team walks the page the page is the meeting's agenda and record
Every day — the flow check status (default) anyone /sdlc-refine (no arguments) for the refinement agenda
Whenever work changes hands handoff, ack the recorder and the recipient —
Last day — sprint review and Retro+ close (writes the review page) a named human confirms every carry and drop /sdlc-retro for the cross-sprint patterns

Instructions

  1. Resolve mode and repo root:
    • Workflow mode (default): look for .sdlc/state.yaml; pass --state .sdlc/state.yaml to every call. The repo root is the directory containing .sdlc/; specs are <repo>/specs/*.md.
    • Standalone mode (--repo <path>, or no .sdlc/state.yaml found): pass --repo <path>. The sprint record and ledger are created under <repo>/.sdlc/sprints/ and <repo>/.sdlc/metrics/sprint-log.jsonl; the output notes the missing engagement context (standalone mode — no .sdlc/state.yaml; engagement context not shown). A bare .sdlc/ directory without state.yaml is still standalone.
    • Every example below shows --state .sdlc/state.yaml; substitute --repo <path> in standalone mode. The two flags are mutually exclusive.

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.
