What it does

Sprint Plan is an agent skill from phuryn/pm-skills. Plan a sprint with capacity estimation, story selection, dependency mapping, and risk identification. Use when preparing for sprint planning, estimating team capacity, selecting stories, or balancing sprint scope against velocity.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 Product & Project Management, covering Sprint planning and agile. The repository describes itself as: PM Skills Marketplace: 100+ agentic skills, commands, and plugins — from discovery to strategy, execution, launch, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing for sprint planning
  • Estimating team capacity
  • Selecting stories
  • Balancing sprint scope against velocity

Example prompts

  • “/sprint-plan”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Estimate team capacity
  2. Review and select stories
  3. Map dependencies
  4. Identify risks and mitigations
  5. Create the sprint plan summary
  6. Define the sprint goal: A single, clear sentence that captures the sprint's primary value delivery.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8607e3b. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • productcompass.pm

    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 Plan loads about 590 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~590

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 Planning

Plan a sprint by estimating team capacity, selecting and sequencing stories, and identifying risks.

Context

You are helping plan a sprint for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (backlogs, velocity data, team rosters, or previous sprint reports), read them first.

Instructions
  1. Estimate team capacity:

    • Number of team members and their availability (PTO, meetings, on-call)
    • Historical velocity (average story points per sprint from last 3 sprints)
    • Capacity buffer: reserve 15-20% for unexpected work, bugs, and tech debt
    • Calculate available capacity in story points or ideal hours
  2. Review and select stories:

    • Pull from the prioritized backlog (highest priority first)
    • Verify each story meets the Definition of Ready (clear AC, estimated, no blockers)
    • Flag stories that need refinement before committing
    • Stop adding stories when capacity is reached
  3. Map dependencies:

    • Identify stories that depend on other stories or external teams
    • Sequence dependent stories appropriately
    • Flag external dependencies and owners
    • Identify the critical path
  4. Identify risks and mitigations:

    • Stories with high uncertainty or complexity
    • External dependencies that could slip
    • Knowledge concentration (only one person can do it)
    • Suggest mitigations for each risk
  5. Create the sprint plan summary:

    Sprint Goal: [One sentence describing what success looks like]
    Duration: [2 weeks / 1 week / etc.]
    Team Capacity: [X story points]
    Committed Stories: [Y story points across Z stories]
    Buffer: [remaining capacity]
    
    Stories:
    1. [Story title] — [points] — [owner] — [dependencies]
    ...
    
    Risks:
    - [Risk] → [Mitigation]
  6. Define the sprint goal: A single, clear sentence that captures the sprint's primary value delivery.
