What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex process of breaking down a technical design into granular, executable stories and generating self-contained prompt packs for AI agents to implement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Story Sharding: Divides large features into manageable, independent stories based on technical design chunks.
  • Prompt Pack Generation: Creates detailed, self-contained prompts for each story, including code snippets, file structures, and verification steps.
  • Infrastructure Setup: Generates "Story 0" for essential project infrastructure (types, fixtures, errors).
  • Integration Path Trace: Ensures end-to-end user paths are covered by the story breakdown, preventing integration gaps.
  • Use Case: After a tech design is approved, this Skill can automatically generate all the necessary story definitions and prompts for the implementation phase, ensuring consistency and adherence to the design.

Quick Start

Use the ls-story skill to break down the tech design document into executable stories and prompt packs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a technical design into executable stories for AI code generation?

Story sharding divides a feature specification into discrete, manageable stories and generates self-contained prompt packs for AI-driven implementation. This ensures your technical design is validated as a downstream consumer. It produces story breakdowns and coordinates execution for Senior Engineer agents.

What is a prompt pack in AI development and how does it structure implementation tasks?

A prompt pack is a self-contained prompt generated for each story, including code snippets, file structures, and verification steps. It provides AI agents with everything needed to implement a specific story chunk independently. This ensures consistency and adherence to the approved technical design.

How do I ensure end-to-end integration paths are covered when sharding features into stories?

An integration path trace ensures end-to-end user paths are fully covered by the story breakdown, preventing integration gaps. This mechanism validates the technical design as a downstream consumer before implementation begins. It guarantees the generated stories collectively address the entire feature scope.

Do I need to manually set up project infrastructure before generating prompt packs for AI agents?

No, infrastructure setup is handled automatically by generating a "Story 0" for essential project infrastructure such as types, fixtures, and errors. This story is created before other implementation stories. It ensures the foundational elements are ready for subsequent AI-driven code generation.

Can I use story sharding to validate a technical design before starting the implementation phase?

Yes, story sharding validates technical designs as a downstream consumer during the breakdown process. It checks the design by sharding it into executable stories and generating prompt packs. This validation happens before any implementation coordination for Senior Engineer agents begins.

What is the best way to automate feature specification breakdown for prompt engineering workflows?

Automating feature specification breakdown involves orchestrating the sharding of technical designs into discrete stories and generating self-contained prompt packs for AI agents. This approach manages execution coordination for Senior Engineer agents. It ensures all story definitions and prompts are consistent with the approved design.
