name	sprint-planning
description	Sprint planning workflow — fetch backlog, ICE score issues, analyze dependencies, select sprint scope, assign milestones. Use when planning a new sprint.

Skill: Sprint Planning

When to Use

• Starting a new sprint planning session
• Re-evaluating sprint scope mid-sprint
• Triaging newly refined issues into the backlog

Steps

1. Fetch backlog: gh issue list --label "status:refined" --state open --json number,title,labels,body
2. Check velocity: Read docs/sprints/ for historical sprint data
3. ICE Score each issue:
   • Impact (1-10): project value
   • Confidence (1-10): solution clarity
   • Ease (1-10): inverse of effort
4. Build dependency graph: check issue bodies for "depends on #N" references
5. Select scope: top-scored issues within velocity budget
6. Assign milestone: gh issue edit <N> --milestone "Sprint X" --add-label "status:planned"

Sizing

Effort	Lines	Scope
1	<50	Config, single file
2	~150	New module, multi-file
3	~300	Cross-cutting, integration

Constraints

• Never exceed configured max_issues
• Respect dependency order
• If >2 unplanned issues appear, escalate
