Story: Claude Code skills expansion
Table of Contents
This page documents a story in Sprint 05. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance criteria, and the tasks that compose it.
Goal
Grow the Claude Code skills layer beyond the PlantUML seed planted in sprint 04: a new-sprint skill that automates opening the next sprint, a release-notes skill that drives the GitHub release notes off the backlog, and project-planning support borrowed from Dogen.
Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | DONE |
| Parent sprint | Sprint 05 |
| Now | Completed 2025-11-17. |
| Waiting on | None. |
| Next | None. |
| Last touched | 2025-11-17 |
Acceptance
new-sprintskill exists and runs against this codebase.release-notes-generatorskill exists.- Project planning approach (TaskJuggler in org-mode) ported and documented.
Tasks
| Task | State | Start | End | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Create a Claude Code skill to open a new sprint | DONE | 2025-11-17 | 2025-11-17 | Skill that updates version strings, copies the backlog template, and creates the next sprint backlog file. |
| Add skill to generate release notes | DONE | 2025-11-17 | 2025-11-17 | Skill that produces release notes from a sprint backlog automatically. |
| Add support for project planning | DONE | 2025-11-17 | 2025-11-17 | Bring across the Dogen-style project-planning approach (Gantt-style milestones in org-mode) and a supporting skill. |
Decisions
- Skills as the operational front-end
- every recurring multi-step task earns a skill rather than a private script.
Out of scope
- A complete taxonomy of skills (the weaving analysis from sprint 04 identifies it as future work).
