Sprint Workflow
Overview
Sprint Workflow describes the convergent diffusion execution model used by the Sprint plugin. A sprint progresses through six distinct phases -- from loading specifications through architectural planning, parallel implementation, testing, review, and finalization.
Prerequisites
- Sprint plugin installed (
/plugin install sprint)
- Project onboarded via
/sprint:setup (creates .claude/project-goals.md and .claude/project-map.md)
- Sprint created via
/sprint:new with a completed specs.md
- Understanding of the agent system (see the
agent-patterns skill)
Instructions
- Phase 0 -- Load Specifications. The orchestrator locates the sprint directory at
.claude/sprint/[N]/, reads specs.md for requirements, reads status.md if resuming a prior iteration, and detects the project type for framework-specific agent selection. See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/sprint-phases.md for the full phase reference.
- Phase 1 -- Architectural Planning. The project-architect agent reads
project-map.md for architecture context and project-goals.md for business objectives. It produces specification files (api-contract.md, backend-specs.md, frontend-specs.md) and returns SPAWN REQUEST blocks for implementation agents.
- Phase 2 -- Implementation. The orchestrator spawns implementation agents in parallel based on the architect's SPAWN REQUEST blocks. Agents include
python-dev, nextjs-dev, cicd-agent, and allpurpose-agent. Each agent reads its assigned spec files and the shared api-contract.md, then returns a structured report.
- Phase 3 -- Testing. Testing agents execute sequentially:
qa-test-agent runs first (API and unit tests), then ui-test-agent runs browser-based E2E tests. Framework-specific diagnostics agents (e.g., nextjs-diagnostics-agent) run in parallel with UI tests. All agents produce test reports.
- Phase 4 -- Review and Iteration. The architect reviews all agent reports, analyzes conformity against specifications, updates specs (removing completed items, adding fixes for failures), and updates . The architect then decides: spawn more implementation agents, run more tests, or finalize.
