What it does

Sprint Workflow is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute this skill should be used when the user asks about "how sprints work", "sprint phases", "iteration workflow", "convergent development", "sprint lifecycle", "when to use sprints", or wants to understand the sprint execution model and its convergent diffusion approach. Use when appropriate context detected. Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/errors.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/sprint-phases.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Sprint Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 546 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

Sprint Workflow

Overview

Sprint Workflow describes the convergent diffusion execution model used by the Sprint plugin. A sprint progresses through six distinct phases -- from loading specifications through architectural planning, parallel implementation, testing, review, and finalization.

Prerequisites

  • Sprint plugin installed (/plugin install sprint)
  • Project onboarded via /sprint:setup (creates .claude/project-goals.md and .claude/project-map.md)
  • Sprint created via /sprint:new with a completed specs.md
  • Understanding of the agent system (see the agent-patterns skill)

Instructions

  1. Phase 0 -- Load Specifications. The orchestrator locates the sprint directory at .claude/sprint/[N]/, reads specs.md for requirements, reads status.md if resuming a prior iteration, and detects the project type for framework-specific agent selection. See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/sprint-phases.md for the full phase reference.
  2. Phase 1 -- Architectural Planning. The project-architect agent reads project-map.md for architecture context and project-goals.md for business objectives. It produces specification files (api-contract.md, backend-specs.md, frontend-specs.md) and returns SPAWN REQUEST blocks for implementation agents.
  3. Phase 2 -- Implementation. The orchestrator spawns implementation agents in parallel based on the architect's SPAWN REQUEST blocks. Agents include python-dev, nextjs-dev, cicd-agent, and allpurpose-agent. Each agent reads its assigned spec files and the shared api-contract.md, then returns a structured report.
  4. Phase 3 -- Testing. Testing agents execute sequentially: qa-test-agent runs first (API and unit tests), then ui-test-agent runs browser-based E2E tests. Framework-specific diagnostics agents (e.g., nextjs-diagnostics-agent) run in parallel with UI tests. All agents produce test reports.
  5. Phase 4 -- Review and Iteration. The architect reviews all agent reports, analyzes conformity against specifications, updates specs (removing completed items, adding fixes for failures), and updates status.md. The architect then decides: spawn more implementation agents, run more tests, or finalize.
  6. Phase 5 -- Finalization. The orchestrator writes the final status.md summary, ensures all spec files are in a consistent state, cleans up temporary files like manual-test-report.md, and signals FINALIZE to end the sprint.
  7. Convergence model. Each iteration reduces noise: completed work is removed from specs, working code is preserved, and only failures are re-addressed. Most sprints converge within 3-5 iterations. After 5 iterations without convergence, the orchestrator pauses and prompts for manual intervention.

Output

  • Phase-by-phase execution log showing agent spawns, reports, and decisions
  • Updated status.md after each iteration reflecting completed and remaining work
  • Specification files that shrink with each iteration as requirements are satisfied
  • Final status.md summary upon sprint completion
  • FINALIZE signal to the orchestrator when all specs are satisfied

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
Sprint stuck in iteration loop (hits 5 iterations)Specs too broad or contain unresolvable conflictsReview status.md for blocking issues; narrow scope or resolve conflicting requirements
Phase 2 agents not spawnedArchitect SPAWN REQUEST missing or malformedVerify architect agent produced valid SPAWN REQUEST blocks with correct agent names
Tests fail repeatedly on same issueImplementation does not match contractCompare agent output against api-contract.md; check for schema mismatches
Sprint cannot find specsWrong sprint directory numberVerify .claude/sprint/[N]/specs.md exists; run /sprint:new if needed
Architect skips testing phaseTesting section missing from specs.mdAdd QA: required and UI Testing: required to the specs (see spec-writing skill)

Examples

Starting a new sprint:

bash
/sprint:new       # Creates .claude/sprint/1/specs.md
# Edit specs.md with requirements
/sprint           # Executes the full phase lifecycle

Resuming after iteration pause:

bash
# Review .claude/sprint/1/status.md for blockers
# Adjust specs.md to narrow scope or fix conflicts
/sprint           # Resumes from Phase 0, reads updated specs and status

Typical convergence flow:

Iteration 1: Architect plans → 3 agents implement → tests find 2 failures
Iteration 2: Architect narrows specs to 2 fixes → agents patch → tests pass
Iteration 3: All specs satisfied → FINALIZE
