/new

New Sprint Command

You are bootstrapping a new sprint for the user.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Sprint Index

Find the next sprint number:

# Get current highest sprint number
LAST=$(ls -d .claude/sprint/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1 | grep -oE '[0-9]+' | tail -1)
if [ -z "$LAST" ]; then
  NEXT=1
else
  NEXT=$((LAST + 1))
fi
echo $NEXT

Step 2: Create Sprint Directory

mkdir -p .claude/sprint/[NEXT]

Step 3: Gather Sprint Information

Ask the user for sprint details. Present this as a structured question:

What would you like to build in this sprint?

Options to clarify:

1. Goal: What's the main objective? (1-2 sentences)
2. Scope: What specific features or fixes?
3. Testing:
   • QA testing: required / optional / skip
   • UI testing: required / optional / skip
   • UI testing mode: automated / manual

Step 4: Create specs.md

Based on user input, create .claude/sprint/[NEXT]/specs.md:

# Sprint [NEXT] Specifications

## Goal
[User's goal description]

## Scope
[List of features/tasks]

## Testing
- QA: [required/optional/skip]
- UI Testing: [required/optional/skip]
- UI Testing Mode: [automated/manual]

## Notes
[Any additional context]

Step 5: Suggest Next Steps

After creating the sprint, suggest:

Sprint [NEXT] created at .claude/sprint/[NEXT]/

Next steps:
1. Review and edit .claude/sprint/[NEXT]/specs.md if needed
2. Run /sprint to start the sprint workflow
3. The architect will analyze specs and create detailed specifications

Tip: For detailed specs, you can add:
- API endpoint details
- UI mockup descriptions
- Database schema changes
- Specific test scenarios

Quick Mode

If the user provides a one-liner goal, create the sprint immediately:

Example: /sprint:new Add user authentication with OAuth

Creates:

# Sprint [N] Specifications

## Goal
Add user authentication with OAuth

## Scope
- To be analyzed by architect

## Testing
- QA: required
- UI Testing: required
