Sprint 9 - Always Read CLAUDE.md Before Asking Questions

Date: 2026-01-17 Tags: projman, claude-code, context, documentation, workflow, sprint-planning

---

Context

Starting Sprint 9 planning session with /projman:sprint-plan command.

Problem

Asked the user "what should I do?" when all the necessary context was already documented in CLAUDE.md:

• Current sprint number and phase
• Implementation plan location
• Remaining phases to complete
• Project conventions and workflows

This caused user frustration: "why are you asking what to do? cant you see this yourself"

Solution

Before asking any questions about what to do:

1. Read CLAUDE.md in the project root
2. Check "Project Status" section for current sprint/phase
3. Follow references to implementation plans
4. Review "Projman Plugin Workflow" section for expected behavior

Prevention

• ALWAYS read CLAUDE.md at the start of any sprint-related command
• Look for "Current Sprint" and "Phase" indicators
• Check for implementation plan references in docs/changes/
• Only ask questions if information is genuinely missing from documentation
• The projman plugin expects autonomous behavior based on documented context
