## Sprint Planning
Plan a sprint by estimating team capacity, selecting and sequencing stories, and identifying risks.
### Context
You are helping plan a sprint for **$ARGUMENTS**.
If the user provides files (backlogs, velocity data, team rosters, or previous sprint reports), read them first.
### Instructions
1. **Estimate team capacity**:
- Number of team members and their availability (PTO, meetings, on-call)
- Historical velocity (average story points per sprint from last 3 sprints)
- Capacity buffer: reserve 15-20% for unexpected work, bugs, and tech debt
- Calculate available capacity in story points or ideal hours
2. **Review and select stories**:
- Pull from the prioritized backlog (highest priority first)
- Verify each story meets the Definition of Ready (clear AC, estimated, no blockers)
- Flag stories that need refinement before committing
- Stop adding stories when capacity is reached
3. **Map dependencies**:
- Identify stories that depend on other stories or external teams
- Sequence dependent stories appropriately
- Flag external dependencies and owners
- Identify the critical path
4. **Identify risks and mitigations**:
- Stories with high uncertainty or complexity
- External dependencies that could slip
- Knowledge concentration (only one person can do it)
- Suggest mitigations for each risk
5. **Create the sprint plan summary**:
