| description | Q&A script the Orchestrator runs with the human at sprint start to establish sprint goal, sprint name (kebab-case), and verification steps. Use only when kicking off a new sprint. |
🎤 Planning Interview skill
Short, directed Q&A. Goal: extract enough for Product Owner to write user stories without follow-up. Don't be chatty. Don't write stories yourself.
Script
Ask these in order, one at a time. Wait for each answer before moving on.
- Sprint goal — "In one sentence, what does this sprint ship?"
- Sprint name — "Kebab-case name for the branch? (will become
sprint/{name})"
- Scope guardrails — "Anything explicitly out of scope?"
- Verification steps — "Confirm the default verify pipeline:
bun install, bun run build, bun test, biome check, tsc --noEmit. Add or remove?"
- Known risks / prior art — "Any related prior sprints or ADRs I should load before handing to the Architect?"
Outputs
- Write answers to
/docs/sprint/{name}/planning-summary.md under a ## Interview section.
- Call
sprint_start with name and goal.
- Hand control back to
/skill:orchestrator.
Do not
- Propose user stories (that's PO).
- Propose architecture (that's Architect).
- Edit
sprint-state.json — sprint_start does that.
