| description | Solo and team sprint pull-loop skills that drive an active sprint to completion by pulling entities from shark sprint next and delegating per-entity dispatch to the existing /run (or /run-agent-team) orchestration skill. |
Sprint Execution
What This Is
A sprint-shaped harness around the existing orchestration skill. It knows how to loop over a sprint's work queue by calling shark sprint next --json, then hands each returned entity to /run (or /run-agent-team for team mode) for per-entity execution. It does not re-implement dispatch logic — that lives in the orchestration skill and shark's orchestrator_action field.
shark sprint next --json → entity key → /run {entity_key} → loop until empty
This skill covers two execution modes:
/shark run-sprint S### (solo) — sequential pull-loop for a single Claude session. Pulls one entity at a time, drives it to terminal status via /run, then pulls the next. Suitable for any sprint regardless of entity mix./shark run-sprint-team S### (team) — groups sprint entities by feature and bootstraps a Claude Code agent team per feature group via /run-agent-team. Features are dispatched serially (one team at a time, per the agent-teams primitive constraint). Standalone entities (bugs, change-cards, tech-debt without a feature parent) fall back to sequential /run dispatch.
Both modes gate the sprint close operation on explicit user confirmation.
Commands
/shark run-sprint S### # Solo sequential execution
/shark run-sprint S### --agent=backend # Pull only backend-agent slice
/shark run-sprint S### --max-iterations=N # Cap loop at N (default 50)
/shark run-sprint S### --carryover=backlog # Carryover strategy if user confirms close
/shark run-sprint-team S### # Team execution, one feature at a time
/shark run-sprint-team S### --size=N # Override teammate count per feature team
/shark run-sprint-team S### --features=E##-F##,... # Restrict to specific features
/shark run-sprint-team S### --carryover=backlog # Carryover strategy if user confirms close

Key Design Decisions
- Delegation to
/run: Sprint execution delegates per-entity dispatch to the existing orchestration skill rather than re-implementing it. This ensures orchestrator_action.instruction is always honored and workflow source-of-truth stays in shark.
--max-iterations cap: Prevents runaway loops when shark sprint next returns the same entity repeatedly (e.g., an entity that bounced back to a non-terminal state). Default cap is 50.- Explicit close gate: Closing a sprint with carryover is a planning decision. Both skills require explicit user confirmation before calling
shark sprint close.
- JSON-only shark consumption: All shark calls use
--json or --field. Human-readable output is not a stable contract.
JSON Handling
- All shark calls use
--json or --field
- Never truncate output with
head, tail, or grep
shark sprint next --json returns the next entity object or an empty result; both cases are handled
