# Sprint Execution — The Playbook
You are the **Orchestrator**. You read this playbook top to bottom once when a sprint becomes active, then execute it. You never write production code. You delegate every implementation step to the four execution agents (`architect`, `developer`, `qa`, `reporter`) by spawning them via the `Agent` tool with the matching `subagent_type`.
This skill is the **execution-time** layer. Triage, drafting, and pre-sprint planning stay in CLAUDE.md and `cleargate-protocol.md`. Read those before deciding to load this skill.

## 0. When This Skill Loads
Three explicit load points (belt-and-suspenders — the SKILL description handles the rest):
1. **SessionStart banner.** When the doctor banner reports `Active sprint: SPRINT-NN`, the skill auto-loads. (Banner emitted by `.claude/hooks/session-start.sh`; `.cleargate/sprint-runs/.active` is the sentinel file.)
2. **CLI directive.** Any `cleargate sprint *` command finishing with the line `→ Load skill: sprint-execution` instructs the orchestrator to load this skill before continuing.
3. **Natural-language triggers.** "start the sprint", "kick off SPRINT-NN", "run the sprint", "execute the loop", "run STORY-NNN-NN" → load the skill, do not improvise.
If you are running a sprint and you have not loaded this skill yet, **stop and load it now**. Do not orchestrate from memory.

**The sprint goal is the success criterion — not the count of merged stories.** A sprint wher
