SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of detailed, developer-ready user stories and specifications from Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and architecture documentation, streamlining the agile development process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • User Story Generation: Creates complete user stories including title, user type, functionality, business value, timeline, effort, acceptance criteria (UAC/TAC), technical notes, and definition of done.
  • Sprint Planning & Backlog Grooming: Assists in structuring work, estimating story points, assessing velocity, and refining the product backlog.
  • Epic Decomposition: Breaks down large features into manageable, vertical slices.
  • Story Validation: Ensures stories meet the INVEST criteria and are ready for development.
  • Use Case: A product manager provides PRD and architecture documents for a new feature. Bob (the Scrum Master agent) processes these documents to generate a set of well-defined user stories, ready for the development team to pick up in the next sprint.
