sprint-planning

sprint-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jamestorrevillas/dev-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for Agile and Scrum work, where teams plan and deliver software in short cycles called sprints. It covers user stories, acceptance criteria, estimates, goals, backlogs, retrospectives, and team updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write user stories, define expected behaviour in Given-When-Then form, estimate effort, plan sprints, improve a backlog, and record retrospectives.
Why use it?
It turns vague feature requests into smaller, testable pieces of work that a team can discuss and estimate.

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

sprint-planning 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 10d 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.

Sprint Planning

User Story Writing

Format

As a [type of user],
I want [goal or action],
So that [benefit or value].

Acceptance Criteria Format (Gherkin)

Given [initial context or precondition],
When [action or event occurs],
Then [expected outcome].

User Story Example

I want to reset my password via email, So that I can regain access to my account if I forget my credentials.

Acceptance Criteria: Given I am on the login page, When I click "Forgot Password" and enter my email, Then I should receive a password reset email within 2 minutes.

Given I click the reset link in the email, When I enter a new valid password, Then my password should be updated and I should be logged in.


### Story Quality Checklist (INVEST)
- **I**ndependent — can be developed without depending on other stories
- **N**egotiable — details can be discussed
- **V**aluable — delivers value to a user or stakeholder
- **E**stimable — team can estimate it
- **S**mall — completable in one sprint
- **T**estable — acceptance criteria are verifiable

---

## Story Point Estimation

### Scale Reference
| Points | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | XS | Trivial change, well-understood, < 2 hours |
| 3 | S | Small, clear scope, half a day |
| 5 | M | Medium complexity, 1–2 days |
| 8 | L | Complex, cross-cutting, 3–4 days |
| 13 | XL | Very complex or uncertain, needs breakdown |

### Estimation Rules
- If a story is 13 points, break it down into smaller stories
- Points represent **complexity + uncertainty**, not just time
- Estimate as a team — avoid anchoring bias (don't share estimates until everyone reveals simultaneously)
- Use historical velocity to validate sprint capacity

---

## Sprint Goal Formula (FOCUS Model)

A good sprint goal is:
- **F**un — memorable and motivating title
- **O**utcome-oriented — what value is delivered, not what tasks are done
- **C**ollaborative — agreed upon by the whole team
- **U**ltimate — answers "why are we doing this sprint?"
- **S**ingular — one clear goal, not a list

### Sprint Goal Example
By end of sprint, users can sign up, log in, and access their dashboard —
giving us a working auth system to build all future features on.

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.
