What it does

Agile is an agent skill from nicepkg/ai-workflow. Agile product management, Scrum practices, and team collaboration for iterative product development.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/config.yaml`, `assets/schema.json` and `references/GUIDE.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Sprint planning and agile. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 170+ pre-built skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & 14+ AI tools. Stop re-teaching your AI the same things. One command → instant domain expertise. Marketing, SEO, Trading… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Sprint planning and agile

Example prompts

  • “/agile”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Review upcoming sprint stories
  2. Clarify acceptance criteria
  3. Size/estimate stories
  4. Identify dependencies
  5. Reorder by priority

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d167b41. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Agile loads about 984 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~984
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Sprint overcommitmentUnrealistic capacityTrack velocity, be honest
Carryover storiesScope creepStricter acceptance
Long standupsToo much detailTime-box, parking lot
No retro actionNo ownershipAssign owners, follow up
Debug Checklist
[ ] Sprint goal clearly defined mi?
[ ] Stories properly sized mi?
[ ] WIP limits respected mi?
[ ] Retro actions implemented mi?
[ ] Velocity tracked mi?
Recovery Procedures
  1. Sprint Failure → Retrospective deep-dive, reset
  2. Team Burnout → Reduce scope, add slack time
  3. Velocity Drop → Investigate blockers, 1:1s

Learning Outcomes

  • Run effective sprints
  • Write well-formed user stories
  • Manage backlogs efficiently
  • Facilitate productive ceremonies
  • Track and improve velocity

Agile is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Agile use?

About 984 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 841 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
