sprint-planning-guide

sprint-planning-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deciding what a software team will complete during a sprint, a short, fixed work period, and what outcome the sprint should achieve.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps refine work, define acceptance criteria, estimate tasks, account for absences and carryover, and agree on a sprint commitment.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from simply taking the next backlog items without checking capacity, dependencies, priorities, or a shared goal.

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-guide 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.

Sprint Planning Guide

Before you start

Gather the following from the user:

  1. Sprint length (1 week, 2 weeks, or custom)
  2. Team size and composition (How many engineers, designers, QA — and who is out this sprint)
  3. Backlog state (Is the backlog refined? Are the top items estimated and acceptance-criteria-ready?)
  4. Carryover from last sprint (Incomplete stories, bugs, or tech debt items that must continue)
  5. External commitments (Deadlines, cross-team dependencies, or stakeholder promises)

If the user says "we just pull from the top of the backlog," push back: "Without a sprint goal, the team is doing task execution, not sprint planning. What outcome should be true at the end of this sprint that isn't true today?"

Sprint planning template

1. Pre-Planning: Backlog Refinement

Complete this before the planning meeting — not during it.

Refinement checklist (done 2-3 days before planning):

  • Top 15-20 backlog items have clear descriptions and acceptance criteria
  • Stories are estimated (story points, T-shirt sizes, or hours — pick one, stay consistent)
  • Dependencies between stories are identified and documented
  • Stories that require design, research, or external input are flagged
  • Tech debt and bug items are groomed and prioritized alongside feature work

If the backlog isn't refined, don't hold planning. Hold a refinement session instead. Planning with unrefined stories wastes everyone's time and produces unreliable commitments.

2. Capacity Calculation

Calculate how much the team can realistically take on.

Team capacity worksheet:

| Team Member  | Available Days | Focus Factor | Effective Days |
|-------------|---------------|-------------|----------------|
| Alice       | 10            | 0.8         | 8.0            |
| Bob         | 8 (PTO Fri)  | 0.8         | 6.4            |
| Carol       | 10            | 0.7 (on-call)| 7.0           |
| Dave        | 5 (half sprint)| 0.8        | 4.0            |
| **Total**   | **33**        |             | **25.4**       |

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.
