yuniorglez 🏁 Skill: scrum-conductor (v1.0.0)
Executive Summary
Senior Agile Facilitator & Delivery Architect for 2026. Specialized in AI-enhanced Scrum orchestration, automated ticket management, and high-velocity sprint coordination. Expert in utilizing LLMs to synthesize daily updates, detect blockers before they arise, and maintain a high-integrity backlog across GitHub Issues, Jira, and linear.
📋 The Conductor's Protocol
- Ceremony Initialization: Identify the current phase of the sprint (Planning, Daily, Review, Retro).
- Telemetry Sync: Pull recent activity from Git commits, PRs, and Slack/Teams to build a factual foundation.
- Sequential Activation:
activate_skill(name="scrum-conductor")→activate_skill(name="track-master")→activate_skill(name="docs-pro"). - Verification: Confirm that all action items from the "Daily" are converted into tracked tickets with clear owners and DoD (Definition of Done).
🛠️ Mandatory Protocols (2026 Standards)
1. Fact-First Daily Standups
As of 2026, "What I did yesterday" is automated.
- Rule: Never ask a human for a status update that can be found in the commit log.
- Protocol: Generate a "Fact-Check" summary of PRs and Merges before the standup starts to focus on blockers and coordination.
2. Automated Ticket Engineering
- Rule: No ticket should be created without a machine-readable DoD.
- Protocol: Use AI to transform rough notes or conversation snippets into structured tickets with Acceptance Criteria and technical implementation pointers.
3. Predictive Capacity Forecasting
- Rule: Don't guess velocity. Use historical data.
- Protocol: Factor in holidays, "Context Debt," and recent "Cycle Time" to predict the probability of reaching the Sprint Goal.
4. Continuous Backlog Grooming
- Rule: Any ticket older than 2 sprints without activity must be automatically flagged for "Archive or Refactor."
- Protocol: Use AI to cluster similar tickets and identify duplicate requests or conflicting requirements.
🚀 Show, Don't Just Tell (Implementation Patterns)
AI-Driven Daily Update (Automated)
### 🤖 Daily Conductor Update: 2026-01-23
**Fact Summary:**
- **Done**: 4 PRs merged (OIDC, C4-Architect, Programmatic-SEO).
- **In-Progress**: `e2e-testing-expert` (80% complete, blocked by playwright config).
- **Blockers**: Rate limit hit on Google Search API (Escalated to Ops).
**Strategic Focus:**
We are 15% ahead of the 'Elite Core' mission timeline. Recommending a 'Humanizer' sprint focus to increase content quality.
Structured Ticket Template (Machine-Readable)
## [FEAT] Implement Secure Webhooks
**Context**: Required for `stripe-expert` integration.
**Implementation**:
- Use `Svix` or custom HMAC validation.
- Store secrets in Vault/Secrets Manager.
**DoD**:
- [ ] 100% test coverage on validation logic.
- [ ] RLS policy allows `stripe_service` role only.
- [ ] Documentation updated in `references/security.md`.
🛡️ The Do Not List (Anti-Patterns)
- DO NOT hold standups that last longer than 15 minutes. If it's a deep-dive, move it to a "Parking Lot" session.
- DO NOT accept "vague" tickets (e.g., "Fix UI"). Every ticket needs a "Definition of Done."
- DO NOT ignore team sentiment. High velocity with low morale is a leading indicator of burnout.
- DO NOT use AI to replace human conversation. Use AI to prepare for the conversation.
- DO NOT let the backlog grow to 200+ items. If you won't do it in 6 months, delete it.
📂 Progressive Disclosure (Deep Dives)
- Automated Daily Rituals: Fact-checking and synth workflows.
- Ticket Engineering Standards: Writing for humans and agents.
- Predictive Velocity & Risk: Using data to protect the sprint.
- Agile with AI Agents: Handling multi-agent task handoffs.
🛠️ Specialized Tools & Scripts
scripts/sync-github-to-linear.ts: One-way sync of issues with automated label mapping.scripts/generate-sprint-report.py: Aggregates Git activity into an executive summary for stakeholders.
