To generate a developer story file, you provide the epic_num, story_num, and story_title. The system synthesizes architecture constraints and prior story intelligence into a ready-for-dev storyboard with embedded guardrails.

Automated story synthesis embeds cross-document references to epics, PRDs, and architecture documents. This ensures strict alignment and traceability across the entire project lifecycle during story file generation.

Generating a story file embeds cross-cutting dev guardrails, testing, and deployment considerations directly into the documentation. This prevents common mistakes by enforcing alignment with project patterns before implementation begins.

The best way to create a ready-for-dev storyboard is aggregating epic, PRD, architecture, and prior story intelligence into a single coherent guide. This produces comprehensive documentation with user needs and technical requirements.

Story generation requires architecture analysis and epic context to ensure the resulting developer guide aligns with project patterns. Without these inputs, the generated story cannot accurately reuse existing solutions or enforce contextual guardrails.
