What problem does it solve?
This Skill guides product managers to translate epics into actionable user stories using the Humanizing Work workflow, ensuring end-to-end value through a structured, pattern-based approach.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 9-pattern Epic Breakdown: Applies the complete sequence of the Humanizing Work splitting patterns to generate a practical set of stories.
- INVEST-aligned Validation: Ensures each story is Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable.
- Structured Output: Produces a detailed breakdown with a core epic context, rationale for choice of pattern, and story-level acceptance criteria.
- Iterative Refinement: Re-splits large stories using Pattern 1 through Pattern 9 to achieve evenly sized increments and reveal low-value work to deprioritize.
Quick Start
Provide your epic context to begin. The agent will validate, apply a splitting pattern, and return a structured Story Breakdown ready for review.
