# OpenPlanr Sprint

Skill family: Plan and specify.

Refine every open backlog item against the code and the calendar, refute the picks, and select a sprint that fits capacity and the release cut. Use before a cut or sprint; not for decomposing one specification or reporting status.

## Run it

- Claude Code: `/sprint`. If /sprint runs another command, use /planr:sprint.
- Codex: `$sprint`. With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:sprint.
- Cursor: `@planr-sprint`. Cursor applies the planr-sprint rule when you mention it in chat.

## Use it to

- Refine the open backlog and select what fits the next sprint or release cut
- Judge which backlog items are stale, blocked, or ready and fit the sprint to capacity
- Decide which open backlog items move to in progress before the release cut and which are dead

## Not for

- Decompose one specification into stories and tasks
- Report delivery status without judging or selecting work
