Sprint Planning Capacity Agent

Before sprint planning, the Scrum Master has to work out how much the team can really take on, and guesses usually end in overcommitment. Two days before planning, this agent reads calendars for holidays and leave, the support rota, and the last six sprints' velocity. It computes a capacity range from the median velocity scaled by available person-days. New team members count as half capacity in their first sprint. It pulls carry-over work first, then ready backlog items with acceptance criteria, and drafts a candidate sprint that stops at 85 percent of capacity. It then checks the draft against capacity and against dependencies on other teams. If the draft is too big or contains a blocked item, it swaps items and checks again. The Scrum Master and Product Owner review the draft before the meeting. Edge case: items without acceptance criteria are left out even when they rank high.
