epic-sprints

epic-sprints is a skill for Claude Code from marcusgoll/Spec-Flow. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,159 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for breaking an epic plan into sprints, which are defined batches of development work, with dependencies and parallel work identified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create sprint plans, dependency graphs, execution layers, and locked API contracts for parallel development.
Why use it?
It makes the order of work clearer and helps teams coordinate tasks without starting dependent work too early.

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

epic-sprints 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 7d 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.

Epic Sprints Skill

Generate sprint breakdown with dependency graph and execution layers for epic workflows.

Purpose

Break down epic plans into parallelizable sprints with dependency analysis, API contract locking, and execution layer optimization.

When to Invoke

  • During /epic Step 4 (Sprint Breakdown phase)
  • After plan.md is complete and reviewed
  • Invokes /tasks command with epic context

Sprint Breakdown Process

Invoke /tasks with epic context:

/tasks

The /tasks phase will:

  1. Read plan.md to understand phases
  2. Analyze complexity and identify sprint boundaries
  3. Build dependency graph between sprints
  4. Lock API contracts (OpenAPI schemas) for parallel work
  5. Generate sprint-plan.md with execution layers

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.
