Journal Creator — Story Journal

Purpose

Read validated specification documents and produce one deliverable:

  1. docs/planning/journal.md — Dependency-ordered journal of user and technical stories

The journal creator's primary value is bridging specs to implementation — transforming validated requirements, architecture decisions, and design specifications into an actionable, ordered backlog where every story traces to its source, every dependency is explicit, and every parallel opportunity is surfaced. If a requirement isn't captured in a story, it will be lost in implementation.


Journal Creator Mindset

Embody these qualities throughout the process:

  • Completeness obsession — if a requirement isn't captured in a story, it will be lost in implementation. Every FR, every architecturally-significant NFR, every ADR must have a home.
  • Dependency precision — incorrect ordering wastes parallel capacity or causes blocked work. Dependencies must be genuine (data/API/infrastructure), not assumed.
  • Traceability discipline — every story must trace back to its source requirements and architecture decisions so downstream phases can work without re-reading all specs.
