What it does
Auto Sprint Args is an agent skill from Apra-Labs/apra-fleet. How to construct and pass correct arguments to the auto-sprint workflow -- the required issues+branch fields, optional goal/maxcycles/basebranch/requirementsFile, JSON-object (not string) shape, and common launch mistakes. Trigger when preparing to launch or invoke auto-sprint.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: AI agents that write code, review each other's work, and coordinate across your machines.
When your agent uses it
- Preparing to launch
- Invoke auto-sprint
Example prompts
- “/auto-sprint-args”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Issues exist and are open -- bd show for each root; a missing root hard-fails preflight.
- Ready leaf work exists -- at least some leaves under the roots are unblocked (bd ready); an all-blocked backlog deadlocks and aborts.
- Branch name chosen -- explicit branch, created if absent.
- base_branch is the intended PR target (default main) and must differ from branch -- an equal pair is rejected at launch.
- Branching off latest main -- the workflow fetches and cuts new branches from origin/; if fetch fails, launch fails. Make sure the remote…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5d17a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Auto Sprint Args loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); files beside SKILL.md 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 515 words (~1,111 tokens).
“Auto-sprint hard-fails on malformed args (validateSprintArgs runs first, before any work). Get the shape right before launching.”
