Spec Driven Sprint

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Spec Driven Sprint skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Spec Driven Sprint is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.

Drives an ad-hoc, resumable spec-driven sprint from a single GitHub issue with structural anti-skip enforcement. Given an issue, it researches the fix surface in plan mode, materializes a self-contained resumable HTML spec (work cards + embedded AI resumption prompt), creates an isolated worktree off the remote default branch, executes each work card (TDD Red-Green-Refactor where there is code), QA-validates against the spec's acceptance criteria in an iteration loop, and opens a PR — all through the Execute-Verify-Gate pattern at every step. No story file is required. Use when turning a GitHub issue into a hook-enforced, resumable sprint, or when the user runs /spec-sprint. Distinct from /create-sprint, which plans story sprints from an existing backlog; this skill is issue-driven and produces no story artifacts.

From the source SKILL.md

Turn one GitHub issue into a self-contained, resumable spec-driven sprint: research the fix surface, materialize an HTML spec (work cards + embedded AI resumption prompt), branch an isolated worktree off the remote default, execute each card with TDD where there is code, QA-validate against the spec's acceptance criteria in an iteration loop, then open a PR.

What this skill does

Spec Driven Sprint is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/spec-driven-sprint/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when turning a GitHub issue into a hook-enforced, resumable sprint, or when the user runs /spec-sprint. Distinct from /create-sprint, which plans story sprints from an existing backlog; this skill is issue-driven and produces no story artifacts.
