Resolved above, use as-is; --review overrides review_mode. No block → defaults in .claude/docs/config-resolution.md.

Sprint Plan

Existing Sprints

!ls production/sprints/ 2>/dev/null || echo "(no production/sprints/ directory yet)"

Resolved before this skill runs, use it to identify the previous sprint in Phase 1 rather than re-globbing.

Phase 0: Parse Arguments

Extract the mode argument (new, update, or status).

See .claude/docs/director-gates.md for the full check pattern. Individual gate definitions live in .claude/docs/director-gates/[gate-id].md, the spawned agent reads its own gate file; do not read it in the parent session.

Every AskUserQuestion call follows .claude/docs/automation-modes.md (collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds; automation_always_ask categories always prompt).

story_granularity, it sets how many stories to allocate per sprint, scaled by velocity: 2, 4 at coarse (the default, via rigor: minimal), 6, 10 at balanced (rigor: standard), 15, 25 at fine. A Ready backlog smaller than the range is planned whole, never padded with invented stories.
