Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parse from arguments:

1. --focus — optional scope filter: spec, scaffold, code, test, audit. If omitted, auto-detect from progress matrix bottleneck.
2. --tasks — optional comma-separated task keywords (case-insensitive substring match against ROADMAP.md unchecked - [ ] lines).
   • Each keyword matches as a case-insensitive substring against all unchecked lines.
   • If a keyword matches multiple lines, include ALL matches. Flag under "MULTI-MATCH KEYWORDS" in the plan.
   • If a keyword matches zero lines, list under "UNMATCHED KEYWORDS". Do NOT fail.
   • If omitted, auto-select by priority order: P0 → P1 → Quick Win → Fill-In.

Thinking Mode

ultrathink

Use extended reasoning for:

• Analyzing project state across multiple data sources
• Calculating progress matrix percentages from concrete evidence
• Classifying bottleneck via state machine transitions
• Building optimal execution queue from 7 priority sources
• Evaluating risk and dependency ordering

---

PHASE 1: Assessment (Read-Only)

Step 1: Read Project State

Read all available project data. Handle missing files gracefully.

Required

1. ROADMAP.md — Read from project root. Extract all unchecked - [ ] items with their priority labels (P0, P1, etc.) and section groupings.
   • If ROADMAP.md does not exist → STOP: "No ROADMAP.md found. Create one first or run /jaan-to:pm-roadmap-add to generate."

Optional (graceful fallback)

2. Gap reports — Glob gap-reports/*-cycle/ directories. Read the latest gap report.
   • If missing → skip progress matrix, use ROADMAP priorities only.
3. Scorecards — Glob scorecards/ directory. Read recent scorecards for trend data.
   • If missing → skip trend analysis.
4. Launch gaps — Read launch-gaps.md if it exists.
   • If missing → skip P0-P3 gap extraction.
5. Tech stack — Read $JAAN_CONTEXT_DIR/tech.md for stack-specific skill filtering.
   • If missing → include all skill variants.

Record which data sources were found and which were skipped.

Step 2: Calculate Progress Matrix

Reference: See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/extending/pm-sprint-plan-reference.md section "Progress Matrix Calculation" for formulas, evidence types, and weighting rules.

If gap reports exist: Calculate percentages from concrete evidence:

Dimension	How to Measure
Specification	PRD exists + stories written + acceptance criteria defined
Scaffold	Project structure created + API contracts + data models
Production Code	Service implementations + frontend components + integrations
Tests	Test coverage + test passing + mutation score
Infrastructure	Docker/CI + deployment config + monitoring

If gap reports missing: Skip this step. Record: "Progress matrix unavailable — gap reports not found."

Step 3: Classify Bottleneck

Reference: See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/extending/pm-sprint-plan-reference.md section "Bottleneck State Machine" for state definitions and transition rules.

If progress matrix available: Determine project stage:

Stage	Condition	Focus
ideation-to-spec	Spec < 50%	Specification skills
spec-to-scaffold	Spec ≥ 50%, Scaffold < 30%	Scaffold skills
scaffold-to-code	Scaffold ≥ 30%, Code < 30%	Implementation skills
code-to-tested	Code ≥ 30%, Tests < 30%	Testing skills
tested-to-deployed	Tests ≥ 30%, Infra < 30%	DevOps skills
quality-and-polish	All ≥ 30%	Audit + polish skills

If --focus argument provided, override auto-detected bottleneck.

If progress matrix unavailable: Use --focus if provided. Otherwise default to spec stage.

Step 4: Map ROADMAP Items to Skills

For each unchecked ROADMAP item:

1. Analyze the task description
2. Map to one or more jaan-to skill invocations
3. Determine which role(s) are needed (pm, backend, frontend, qa, devops, security)

If --tasks filter is active, only include matching items.

Mapping rules:

• Requirements/PRD tasks → pm-prd-write, pm-story-write
• API/backend tasks → backend-task-breakdown, backend-scaffold, backend-service-implement
• Frontend tasks → frontend-task-breakdown, frontend-scaffold
• Testing tasks → qa-test-generate, qa-tdd-orchestrate
• Infrastructure → devops-infra-scaffold
• Security → sec-audit-remediate
• Documentation → docs-create, docs-update

If a task cannot be mapped to any skill, flag it as "MANUAL" — requires direct implementation.

Step 5: Build Execution Queue

Reference: See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/extending/pm-sprint-plan-reference.md section "Execution Queue Algorithm" for priority sources, scoring, and ordering rules.

Build a prioritized queue of max 12 items from 7 priority sources:

Source	Priority	Description
1. P0 blockers	Highest	Critical path items from gap reports
2. --tasks filter	High	User-specified task keywords
3. Bottleneck skills	Medium-High	Skills that address the classified bottleneck
4. P1 features	Medium	Important but not blocking
5. Quick wins	Low-Medium	Small tasks completable in one skill invocation
6. Untested skills	Low	Skills not yet validated in this project
7. Closing skills	Always	detect-pack, release-iterate-changelog (always included)

Source 7 (closing skills) ALWAYS runs regardless of other selections. Reserve 2 queue slots for closing skills.

Order items within each source by dependency (prerequisites first).

Step 6: Assess Risk

For each queue item, flag risks:

• Dependency risk: Requires output from another item in the queue
• Complexity risk: Multi-file, multi-role task
• Unknown risk: First time running this skill in this project

"Approve this sprint plan? [y/approve/edit/n]"

• y / approve → proceed to Phase 2
• edit → revise based on feedback, re-present
• n → stop workflow

Do NOT proceed without explicit approval.

PHASE 2: Generate Sprint Plan Artifact

Step 7: Write Sprint Plan

Use the template from: $JAAN_TEMPLATES_DIR/jaan-to-pm-sprint-plan.template.md

Fill all sections with the approved plan data.

Generate ID and Output Path

source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/id-generator.sh"

SUBDOMAIN_DIR="$JAAN_OUTPUTS_DIR/pm/sprint-plan"
mkdir -p "$SUBDOMAIN_DIR"

NEXT_ID=$(generate_next_id "$SUBDOMAIN_DIR")

slug="sprint-plan"
OUTPUT_FOLDER="${SUBDOMAIN_DIR}/${NEXT_ID}-${slug}"
MAIN_FILE="${OUTPUT_FOLDER}/${NEXT_ID}-${slug}.md"

Write Output

mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_FOLDER"

Write the sprint plan artifact to $MAIN_FILE using the filled template.

The artifact MUST include a machine-readable YAML block at the top for consumption by team-ship --track sprint:

---
type: sprint-plan
version: 1
created: {date}
focus: {focus_area}
bottleneck: {stage_name}
progress:                       # Omit section entirely if gap reports unavailable
  specification: {0-100}
  scaffold: {0-100}
  production_code: {0-100}
  tests: {0-100}
  infrastructure: {0-100}
queue_count: {count}
queue:
  - id: 1
    skill: {skill_name}
    role: {role}
    args: "{arguments}"
    group: {group_number}
    depends_on: []
    roadmap_ref: "{original_roadmap_line}"
  - id: 2
    skill: {skill_name}
    role: {role}
    args: "{arguments}"
    group: {group_number}
    depends_on: [1]
    roadmap_ref: "{original_roadmap_line}"
closing_skills:
  - detect-pack
  - release-iterate-changelog
deferred:                       # Omit if no items deferred
  - title: "{deferred_item}"
    reason: "{why_deferred}"
    priority_boost: true
---

Validate Before Writing

Before writing the artifact, verify:

• queue_count equals actual queue array length
• All depends_on IDs reference valid id values in the queue
• group numbers are sequential (1, 2, 3...) with no gaps
• Items within the same group do NOT depend on each other
• closing_skills is present and non-empty

If validation fails → present errors to user, do NOT write. Offer to fix.

Update Subdomain Index

source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/index-updater.sh"
add_to_index \
  "$SUBDOMAIN_DIR/README.md" \
  "$NEXT_ID" \
  "${NEXT_ID}-${slug}" \
  "Sprint Plan" \
  "{1-2 sentence summary of sprint focus and queue size}"

Confirm:

Sprint plan written to: {MAIN_FILE} This artifact can be consumed by /team-sprint or /team-ship --track sprint.

Step 8: Capture Feedback

"Any feedback on this sprint plan? [y/n]"

If yes:

1. Ask what to improve
2. Offer: [1] Fix now [2] Learn for future [3] Both
3. For learn: /jaan-to:learn-add pm-sprint-plan "{feedback}"

If no: Sprint plan workflow complete.
