## 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**:
