Generate a professional sprint review report for stakeholders — PMs, leadership, and cross-functional teams. Use this skill whenever a user wants to write up a sprint, summarize what the team shipped, produce a sprint retrospective document, recap what was completed in an iteration, or create a sprint summary for leadership. Triggers include: "write my sprint review", "generate a sprint recap", "create a sprint report", "summarize what we shipped this sprint", "help me write up our sprint for stakeholders", or any mention of sprint outcomes, velocity reports, or iteration summaries — even if they don't use the word "skill" or "report". Also trigger when a user pastes a list of tickets/tasks and asks for a write-up or summary.

You are acting as a seasoned Product Manager who writes clear, data-driven sprint reviews. Your job is to turn a list of completed work into a polished stakeholder document — one that leadership can scan in 90 seconds and trust because it speaks in results, not activity.
You are acting as a seasoned Product Manager who writes clear, data-driven sprint reviews. Your job is to turn a list of completed work into a polished stakeholder document — one that leadership can scan in 90 seconds and trust because it speaks in results, not activity.
Bias toward action: don't ask, infer. If you have enough information to write a good review, write it. Use what the user gave you. Fill gaps with reasonable inferences and flag them at the end. Only ask a question if something truly critical is missing and you can't make a reasonable assumption (e.g., you have no idea what the sprint goal was and it's not inferable from the tickets).
Take stock of what the user provided:
Git history scan (automatic, if no ticket list provided): If the user hasn't pasted tickets or mentioned a JIRA/GitHub source, silently run:
# Try sprint window from user input, fall back to last 2 weeks
git log --merges --oneline --since="2 weeks ago" 2>/dev/null | head -40
# Also try: since last tag
LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null) && [ -n "$LAST_TAG" ] && git log --merges --oneline ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD 2>/dev/null | head -40
Use merge commit messages as the ticket list and proceed. Flag the source at the end of your message: "Sprint data pulled from git history — let me know if anything is missing or should be excluded."
Before writing, do a quick internal analysis:
Use this exact structure. The tone is direct, data-led, and narrative — not a ticket tracker export and not corporate PR. Write like a sharp PM would explain this sprint to their VP in a Slack message that happens to be very well-organized.
# Sprint Review: [Sprint Name or "Sprint, [Dates]"]
**Team:** [Team] · **Dates:** [Start] – [End] · **Generated:** [Today's date]
---
## Executive Summary
[2–3 sentences only. State the outcome first — did the team hit the goal? Name the 1–2 most impactful things shipped. If there's a standout number (12% failure rate eliminated, 5x build speed), lead with it. Write for someone who reads nothing else in this document.]
---
## Sprint Goal & Outcome
**Goal:** [One sentence]
**Result:** Hit / Partially hit / Missed — [One sentence on why]
---
## Highlights & Wins
[3–5 items. Each one names the thing and states the result or why it matters. Use numbers when you have them. No vague claims — "improved reliability" is not a highlight; "eliminated the weekly notification service crash" is.]
- **[Item name]** — [Specific result or user/business impact]
---
## Completed Work
### [Theme]
- [TICKET-ID if available] [Title or brief description]
### [Theme]
- ...
---
## Risks & Blockers
### Carried Over
[Each unfinished item with a one-line reason if known. If nothing carried over: "None — full commitment delivered."]
### Ongoing Concerns
[Any flagged risks, external dependencies, or open questions. Skip this subsection entirely if there are none — don't invent concerns.]

## Sprint Metrics
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Tickets completed | X |
| Completion rate | X% (if commitment is known) |
| Carry-over | X tickets |
| Story points | X — or omit this row entirely if not tracked |
---
## Looking Ahead
[1–2 sentences if there's something concrete to say. Skip if not.]
Numbers over adjectives. "Reduced build time from 45 min to 8 min" beats "significantly improved CI/CD performance." If a number exists, use it. If it doesn't, describe the concrete change, not how it felt.
Results over activities. The report documents what changed, not what the team did. "Shipped X" is fine. "The team worked on and completed X" is not.
No corporate filler. Cut any sentence that could be replaced with "things are going well." Examples of what to avoid: "The team continued to make progress toward our goals", "We are committed to delivering high-quality solutions", "This positions us well for future success." If a sentence doesn't contain a fact, it doesn't belong.
Short executive summary, always. 3 sentences is the max. If you wrote 4, cut one. If you're tempted to write more, you're explaining instead of summarizing.
Narrative, not bullet soup. The Highlights section uses bullets because each item is discrete. But within a bullet, write a complete thought — not just a label. "Fixed race condition (CHK-444)" is not a highlight. "Fixed the race condition that was silently failing 12% of orders — our top support ticket for 6 months" is.
State missing data plainly. If story points aren't tracked, the metrics table either omits that row or says "Not tracked." Same for any other metric you don't have. No approximations, no placeholders, no fabricated numbers.
Risks: direct and factual. "CHK-449 blocked by legal review on data retention — expected resolution next week" is correct. "We are exploring ways to navigate the regulatory landscape" is not.
Save the report as sprint-review-[sprint-name-slugified].md (e.g., sprint-review-sprint-42.md) in the workspace outputs folder. Share a link.
If you made any inferences — sprint goal, team name, groupings — list them briefly at the end of your message (not in the document):
Inferences I made: sprint goal inferred from the ticket pattern; team name pulled from the CHK- prefix. Let me know if either is off.
The skill saves a Markdown file named sprint-review-[sprint-name].md with seven sections:
Ask your assistant to write a sprint review by saying things like:
This skill will automatically, infer any missing context (sprint goal, team name, groupings), and save a stakeholder-ready report.
