Jacky Shen's Agile Coach Prompt Toolkit#

This skill encapsulates 11 core scenario prompts designed by Jacky Shen (Chief Agile Coach, Scrum Alliance Certified CST) for Scrum agile teams, covering high-frequency work scenarios for both Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

How to Use#

1. Identify the scenario: Match the user's description to the most relevant scenario(s) in the table below
2. Load the reference: Read references/prompt-library.md for the full prompt template
3. Customize: Replace [placeholders] with the user's specific details (team size, product name, data, etc.)
4. Add guidance: Alongside the prompt, share the best-practice usage tip for that scenario

Usage Standards#

Prompt Structure (GRACE Framework)#

All prompts follow this five-layer structure:

text

### GOAL ###       → Core purpose and expected outcome
### ROLE ###       → Expert identity, capabilities, and "Never Do" guardrails
### ACTION ###     → Specific tasks with Do / Don't constraints
### CONTEXT ###    → Business scenario, audience, relevant data
### EXPRESSION ### → Output structure, length limits, examples

Output Principles#

• Deliver ready-to-use prompts: Output fully filled-in prompts the user can copy immediately
• Mark unfilled placeholders: Use [TO FILL: description] for any missing user info
• Include a usage tip: Note which Scrum ceremony or workflow context this prompt fits best
• Language: Default to the language the user is writing in
