What it does

Mcaf Agile Delivery is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Shape delivery workflow around backlog quality, roles, ceremonies, and engineering feedback. Use when defining how the team plans, tracks work, and turns feedback into durable improvements.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agile-delivery.md` and `references/roles.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires repository access only when the repo stores delivery docs or governance guidance.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Storage library provides a universal interface for accessing and manipulating data in different cloud blob storage providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Defining how the team plans
  • Turns feedback into durable improvements

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-agile-delivery”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires repository access only when the repo stores delivery docs or governance guidance.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d32121. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

    Requires repository access only when the repo stores delivery docs or governance guidance.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf Agile Delivery loads about 883 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 441 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~883
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

MCAF: Agile Delivery

Trigger On

  • the team needs backlog, ceremony, role, or feedback-loop rules
  • delivery process is vague, too heavy, or living only in chat
  • recurring team pain needs to become durable repo guidance

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • repo governance that belongs in AGENTS.md
  • feature planning for one specific feature doc

Inputs

  • the current delivery pain point
  • backlog, role, ceremony, and feedback mechanisms that already exist
  • where the team stores durable agreements, if anywhere

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Keep delivery artefacts concrete:
    • backlog
    • roles
    • ceremonies
    • engineering feedback
  2. Prefer lightweight agreements over process theatre.
  3. When a pain point repeats, turn it into a rule, doc, or skill update.
  4. Pull only the references that match the current process problem.

Deliver

  • concrete delivery guidance
  • durable team agreements
  • feedback loops that update docs, skills, and rules

Validate

  • the process guidance fixes a real delivery problem
  • roles and rituals are explicit enough to use
  • recurring pain is converted into a durable artifact, not more chat
Show full SKILL.md (208 more words)Show less

Ralph Loop

Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.

  1. Plan first (mandatory):
    • analyze current state
    • define target outcome, constraints, and risks
    • write a detailed execution plan
    • list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
  2. Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
  3. Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
  4. Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
  5. Update the plan after each iteration.
  6. Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
  7. If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return status: not_applicable with explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
  • status: complete | clean | improved | configured | not_applicable | blocked
  • plan: concise plan and current iteration step
  • actions_taken: concrete changes made
  • validation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasons
  • verification: commands, checks, or review evidence summary
  • remaining: top unresolved items or none

For setup-only requests with no execution, return status: configured and exact next commands.

Load References

  • read references/agile-delivery.md first
  • open references/roles.md only for a narrower topic

Example Requests

  • "Define a lighter delivery model for this team."
  • "Turn repeated feedback pain into repo guidance."
  • "Fix our backlog and ceremony chaos."
