What problem does it solve?
Scrum masters waste hours manually decomposing low-level design documents, requirements, and data models into sprint backlogs, often missing critical elements like traceability, dependency mapping, and compliance with team story standards, leading to rework and delayed sprints.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Backlog Generation: Decomposes approved low-level design documents and all upstream artifacts (DRD, HLD, DMS, STM, DQS) into structured epics and stories with full traceability to source documents.
- Mandatory Guardrails: Enforces project-specific rules for medallion-layer data pipelines, including Spark Expectations end-to-end coverage, phased contract handling, and layer closure sequences (performance optimization, integration testing, deploy validation) to eliminate common backlog errors.
- Interactive Decision Gathering: Uses structured Q&A to collect missing decomposition inputs (team capacity, sprint length, priority schemes, story granularity) from the user before generating output, ensuring the backlog aligns with team workflows.
- Use Case: A scrum master working on a data engineering project can use this skill to turn an approved LLD into a complete, validator-ready sprint backlog with properly sized, dependent, and tested stories in minutes instead of days.
Quick Start
Use the create-stories skill to generate a complete sprint backlog with epics and stories from your latest approved low-level design document and team capacity inputs.
