Release Planner
Plan out the feature set for a release (MVP, v1, v2, or any milestone). Enumerates candidate features, prioritises them against capacity and deadline, publishes a Confluence roadmap page, and creates empty JIRA epic placeholders — one per feature — that downstream skills (feature-spec-author, backlog-manager) flesh out. Use when: scoping an MVP, planning the next release, rolling over deferred work into a new milestone, or any time you need a reviewable feature list before specs are written. Phase 0.5 of the ol-sdd-workflow orchestrator, sitting between steering (Phase 0) and feature specification (Phase 1).
