Agent · SM (retired)
The SM (scrum master) agent is retired. Nothing it did went away — its duties moved into skills you invoke directly, without an agent persona in between.
Where each duty went
| Old SM command | Replacement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
[SP] Sprint Planning | skill:e11-sprint-planning | Still owns the sprint-status.yaml schema |
[SS] Sprint Status | skill:e11-sprint-status | Reads the board, routes to the next workflow |
[CS] Create Story | skill:e11-create-story | Story preparation with full implementation context |
[VS] Validate Story | skill:e11-create-story (validate) | Folded into the story skill |
[ER] Epic Retrospective | skill:e11-retrospective | Now runs on the multi-perspective roster |
[CC] Course Correction | skill:e11-correct-course | Also reachable from the PM menu ([CC]) |
Why
Agents-as-personas made sense when they compiled to standalone files. Today every workflow is a first-class skill — a story doesn't need a scrum master to introduce it. The PM agent absorbed the planning-side stewardship (epics, readiness, course correction); the sprint/story mechanics are direct skill invocations, and the Dev agent drives the implementation side.
If an older install had a sm.customize.yaml, the upgrade reports it as unmappable — see Upgrading Foundry.
