What it does

Sprint Brief is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Generate a structured sprint brief from sprint data and goals. Use when asked to write a sprint brief, create a sprint summary, document sprint goals and scope, or produce a team-facing sprint overview. Produces a scannable brief with sprint goal, rationale, grouped work, critical path, risks, and definition of done.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/goal-writing.md`, `references/worked-example.md` and `templates/brief-one-pager.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Sprint planning and agile. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a sprint brief
  • Create a sprint summary
  • Document sprint goals and scope
  • Produce a team-facing sprint overview

Example prompts

  • “/sprint-brief”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read sprint goal and check it's specific and measurable — flag if it's too vague
  2. Group tickets by theme or feature area
  3. Identify the critical path — which tickets must complete for the sprint goal to be met?
  4. Flag risks: tickets with unclear acceptance criteria, missing designs, unresolved dependencies
  5. Note carry-over items and whether they affect this sprint's goal
  6. Validate — Confirm the sprint goal is achievable given the ticket scope and capacity. If the critical path items alone would fill the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.

Context cost

Sprint Brief loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 720 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

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.

description
Generate a structured sprint brief from sprint data and goals. Use when asked to write a sprint brief, create a sprint summary, document sprint goals and scope, or produce a team-facing sprint overview. Produces a scannable brief with sprint goal, rationale, grouped work, critical path, risks, and definition of done.

Sprint Brief Skill

Produce a clear, scannable sprint brief that every team member — engineer, designer, PM — can read in under three minutes and understand exactly what we're doing and why.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Sprint name and number
  • Sprint goal (1-2 sentences — flag if too vague)
  • Ticket list with owners (or a description of the work)
  • Known dependencies or blockers
  • Carry-over items from previous sprint (if any)

Process

  1. Read sprint goal and check it's specific and measurable — flag if it's too vague
  2. Group tickets by theme or feature area
  3. Identify the critical path — which tickets must complete for the sprint goal to be met?
  4. Flag risks: tickets with unclear acceptance criteria, missing designs, unresolved dependencies
  5. Note carry-over items and whether they affect this sprint's goal
  6. Validate — Confirm the sprint goal is achievable given the ticket scope and capacity. If the critical path items alone would fill the sprint, flag it as overloaded.

Output Structure

Sprint [Number] Brief — [Dates]

Sprint Goal: [1-2 sentences — specific and measurable] Why This Sprint Matters: [Connect to quarterly OKR in 2-3 sentences]

What We're Building:

  • [Theme 1]: [tickets and owners]
  • [Theme 2]: [tickets and owners]

Critical Path: [The 2-3 tickets everything else depends on]

Risks to Flag:

  • [Risk 1 + mitigation]
  • [Risk 2 + mitigation]

Carry-over from Last Sprint: [List + impact on current goal]

Definition of Done: [Specific, agreed criteria for sprint success]

Deeper Materials

This skill ships with support files — use them when they are available:

  • references/goal-writing.md — Writing Sprint Goals That Steer. Apply it while producing the output; it carries the calibration and judgment calls the method summary above compresses.
  • templates/brief-one-pager.md — a fill-in version of the deliverable with the quality gates inline. Offer it when the user wants to work the document themselves rather than have it generated.

Scoring Rubric (0–40)

Score any output of this skill before handing it over; 32+ is ship-quality.

Dimension0510
Goal scoreabilityGoal is a task list or a vague direction ("make progress on X") — nobody could score it at sprint endGoal states one outcome but the pass/fail line is fuzzy (no number, date, or observable test)Goal is a single outcome statement with an explicit pass/fail test anyone on the team could apply on the last day
Critical path precisionNo critical path, or "the important tickets" — reader can't tell which slippage is fatalCritical path tickets are named but without sequencing or the date/trigger at which the goal failsNamed tickets in dependency order, with the deadline that kills the goal and a clear fatal-vs-survivable split from the rest of the board
Risk actionabilityRisks are a worry list — no mitigations, no ownersEach risk has a mitigation or an owner, but responses are generic ("monitor closely")Every risk has a concrete mitigation with a ready-by date and a single named owner, and states whether it threatens the goal or just a ticket
Capacity honestyCarry-over listed without impact; board is silently overloadedCarry-over impact on the goal is stated, but the brief doesn't act on it — overload is flagged as a risk and left thereCarry-over is costed against capacity and the brief shows the resolution: named scope cuts, a de-scoped goal, or an explicit team-agreed overload acceptance

Quality Checks

  • Sprint goal is specific enough to score pass/fail at the end of the sprint
  • Critical path items are named — not just "the important ones"
  • Every risk has a mitigation or owner (not just "this is a risk")
  • Carry-over items are connected to their impact on this sprint's goal
  • Definition of Done is agreed criteria, not a task list

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write a sprint goal as a task list — the goal must be a single outcome-focused statement that can be scored pass/fail
  • Do not leave the critical path unnamed — "the important tickets" is not a critical path
  • Do not list risks without a mitigation or owner — a risk without a response is just a worry list
  • Do not ignore carry-over items' impact on this sprint's capacity and goal
  • Do not write a Definition of Done that mixes task completion with outcome criteria — they must be observable and agreed before the sprint starts

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a sprint brief."
  • "Create a sprint summary."
  • "Document sprint goals and scope."
  • "Produce a team-facing sprint overview."
