User Story
Overview
This skill generates hierarchical user stories (epics → features → tasks) with formal Given/When/Then acceptance criteria. It works in two modes: consuming brainstorm output for rich context, or standalone with its own clarification phase. Task-level stories share format with create-plan phases for seamless handoff.
Workflow Position: brainstorm → (ADRs + user stories) → create-plan → implement-plan
Related ADRs:
- ADR-0003: One file per epic with INDEX.md
- ADR-0004: Hierarchical numbering (EPIC-NN.F-NN.T-NN)
- ADR-0005: Shared format contract with create-plan
- ADR-0006: Upstream of create-plan, parallel to ADRs
Initial Response
When this skill is invoked, respond:
"I'm ready to help you define user stories. I can work from a brainstorm document or start fresh. Let me check for recent brainstorms, or you can describe the feature/system you want to define requirements for."

skill-visualizer
Generate interactive HTML visualizations of the skills collection, codebase structure, or dependency graphs. Uses D3.js for interactive visualization with collapsible nodes, color-coded categories, and hover details. Triggers on "visualize skills", "generate skill map", "codebase visualization", or "show skill dependencies".
11verification-loop
Comprehensive 6-check verification framework for validating implementation quality across build, types, lint, tests, security, and diff review. This skill ensures code meets all quality gates before phase completion. Triggers on "verify implementation", "run verification", "/verification-loop", or automatically as part of implement-phase Step 2.
8context-saver
Save session context to disk for seamless continuation in new chat sessions. This skill should be used when the user asks to save context, preserve work state, checkpoint progress, or prepare for session handoff. Triggers on "save context", "checkpoint", "save progress", "preserve state", or when explicitly asked to create a context file for later resumption. Optimizes for correctness, completeness, minimal size, and trajectory preservation.
8strategic-compact
Strategic compaction suggestion framework that monitors session complexity and suggests context compaction at optimal logical boundaries rather than arbitrary thresholds.
8implement-plan
Orchestrate the execution of complete implementation plans, delegating each phase to implement-phase skill. This skill manages the full plan lifecycle including phase sequencing, user confirmation between phases, and overall progress tracking. Triggers on "implement the plan", "execute the implementation plan", or when given a path to a plan file.
8create-plan
Create detailed implementation plans through interactive research and iteration. This skill should be used when creating new implementation plans, designing feature specifications, planning technical work, or when the user asks to plan an implementation. Triggers on requests like "create a plan", "plan the implementation", "design how to implement", or when given a feature/task that needs structured planning before implementation.
