What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the manual, error-prone work of decomposing product requirement documents (PRDs), architecture specifications, and UX design docs into structured, dev-ready epics and user stories, ensuring no requirements are missed and all work is aligned to user value.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Requirement Extraction: Automatically pulls functional, non-functional, and UX requirements from PRDs, architecture docs, and UX specifications to create a complete requirements inventory.
- User-Value-Focused Epic Design: Guides collaborative epic creation that groups requirements by user outcome, with built-in checks to ensure each epic is standalone and deliverable independently.
- Testable Story Generation: Breaks each epic into appropriately sized user stories with clear Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, sized for single developer completion and fully traceable to original requirements.
Use case: A product team with a finalized PRD and architecture document can use this Skill to generate a complete, prioritized backlog of epics and stories ready for development sprint planning.
