What it does
Bmad Sprint Planning is an agent skill from aj-geddes/claude-code-bmad-skills. Orchestration handoff bridge: emits and maintains sprint-status.yaml as the project's sequencing system-of-record. Orders stories by epic then dependency, assigns parallel-set (wave) membership, and drives the status lifecycle (backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done) as a view — never as a metric. Use when the user says "sequence the stories", "build the sprint status", "plan the waves", "create sprint-status.yaml", "assign parallel sets", "order stories by dependency", "what can run in parallel"…
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/init-sprint-status.sh`, `scripts/sequence-stories.sh` and `templates/sprint-status.template.yaml`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Sprint planning and agile and User stories. The repository describes itself as: BMAD Method skills for Claude Code - Auto-detection, Memory integration, Slash commands. Transform Claude Code into a BMAD-powered development environment.
When your agent uses it
- The user says sequence the stories
- Build the sprint status
- Create sprint-status.yaml
- Assign parallel sets
Example prompts
- “sequence the stories”
- “build the sprint status”
- “plan the waves”
- “/bmad-sprint-planning”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, TodoWrite
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Reads planning artifacts (PRD, architecture, epics, stories) from bmad-output/.
- Derives a dependency graph across all stories.
- Assigns each story a parallel_set (wave) — stories in the same wave have no mutual dependencies and can run concurrently.
- Emits bmad-output/sprint-status.yaml using the canonical template.
- Marks the first wave of stories ready-for-dev; all others remain backlog.
- Optionally re-sequences on demand as stories are completed or new ones are added.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27dca0e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBashGlobGrepTodoWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Bmad Sprint Planning loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 255 tokens; SKILL.md has 671 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, TodoWrite
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 671 words (~1,996 tokens).
