## Capabilities

- Defines a star topology for coordinator, planner, issue tracker, and board sync agents.
- Guides automated issue triage with classification, labels, assignments, and priority scoring.
- Plans sprints with capacity checks, backlog review, milestone creation, and sprint board setup.
- Tracks milestones, release readiness, project risks, and stakeholder status reports.
- Documents GitHub Projects v2 custom field automation and analytics workflows.

## Use Cases

- Run Sprint Planning: Prepare capacity, review backlog priority, create milestones, and initialize a sprint board.
- Triage Repository Issues: Classify new issues, apply labels, assign owners, detect duplicates, and add items to a project board.
- Track Release Milestones: Monitor milestone progress, identify delivery risks, prepare readiness checks, and generate stakeholder updates.

## Prompt Templates

### Begin Issue Triage

```
Use this skill to triage new issues in my repository. Classify each issue, suggest labels, and ask before making changes.
```

### Plan A Sprint

```
Use this skill to plan the next two-week sprint. Review team capacity, prioritize the backlog, and propose a sprint milestone.
```

### Sync A Project Board

```
Use this skill to audit my GitHub Projects v2 board. Identify stale items, missing fields, blocked work, and recommended updates.
```

### Coordinate A Release

```
Use this skill to track release readiness. Review milestone health, identify risks, prepare stakeholder status, and request approval before actions.
```

## Limitations

- Requires configured GitHub access, MCP tools, and local automation scripts.
- Does not include the referenced shell scripts or reference templates.
- Can change GitHub issues, milestones, releases, and project boards when executed.
- External sync workflows need user approval and destination-specific credentials.

## Best Practices

- Review planned GitHub changes before allowing the agent to apply them.
- Use least-privilege GitHub tokens and scoped credentials for external systems.
- Keep label taxonomy, team ownership, and sprint templates current.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not run repository-local scripts from untrusted projects without review.
- Do not let automation close, assign, or release work without human approval.
- Do not send project data to Slack, Jira, or other tools without consent.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T12:53:18.289\+00:00
- Summary: Most static backtick findings are Markdown formatting false positives, not Ruby shell execution. The audit confirms the shell command substitution in the release milestone example and flags broader workflow risks from remote packages, repository-local scripts, GitHub mutations, and external sync.
