Sprint Management

Sprint management commands help you plan work iterations, track progress, handle mid-sprint scope changes, and reflect on outcomes. They correspond to Phase 4 (Implementation) process management in the GAIA lifecycle.

Commands in this category

• /gaia-sprint-plan user-facing Plan a sprint by selecting stories from the backlog, applying sizing and priority rules.
• /gaia-sprint-status user-facing Display the current sprint status dashboard with per-story progress.
• /gaia-sprint-review user-facing Run the end-of-sprint review ceremony -- Track A Val rubric + Track B per-stack execution, composite verdict, routing to close / correct-course / UNVERIFIED-bypass.
• /gaia-sprint-close user-facing Close the active sprint -- atomic status: closed write, archive the yaml, emit a sprint_closed lifecycle event.
• /gaia-brain-reindex user-facing Rebuild the brain knowledge index from source -- a correct-by-construction sweep of the artifact and state trees that runs as a best-effort pass at sprint-close and on demand. Renders a human-browsable map of content beside the index.
• /gaia-brain-health user-facing Browse the brain knowledge layer for coverage gaps -- lists every indexed artifact with no governance link. Read-only; surfaces gaps as a quality signal and never fails.
• /gaia-brain-query user-facing Query a story's governance envelope from the brain knowledge layer -- the related artifacts grouped by direction (up the governance chain, down to tests and reviews, lateral to design) in one read-only invocation. Degrades gracefully and never fails.
• /gaia-epic-status user-facing Show an epic completion dashboard with per-epic percentages and story counts by status.
• /gaia-create-story user-facing Create a detailed individual story file with full frontmatter and acceptance criteria.
• /gaia-correct-course user-facing Manage mid-sprint scope changes, priority shifts, and blocker resolution.
• /gaia-retro user-facing Facilitate a post-sprint retrospective capturing what went well, what did not, and action items.
• /gaia-tech-debt-review retired Retired -- merged into /gaia-triage-findings, which now runs tech-debt aggregation, classification, scoring, and dashboard generation as a phase after triage.
• /gaia-action-items user-facing Process and resolve action items from retrospectives, triage, tech-debt reviews, and course corrections.
• /gaia-feed user-facing Ingest an external document (URL, local file, or stdin) into the brain knowledge layer with provenance tracking.
• /gaia-knowledge-refresh user-facing Re-fetch all ingested sources and update only what changed. Hash-gated three-way reconcile with expiry enforcement.
• /gaia-unfeed user-facing Remove an ingested document from the brain knowledge layer. The inverse of /gaia-feed.
