rcode-create-epics-and-stories

To turn a PRD into epics and user stories, this Skill extracts functional, non-functional, architectural, and UX requirements, groups them into user-value-focused epics, and breaks them down into testable stories with acceptance criteria.

Breaking down product requirements into ready-to-build stories involves mapping requirement coverage across PRD and architecture notes, sizing stories for independent testing, and validating dependency flow before finalizing the backlog.

Yes, you can use architecture and UX notes to generate user stories. The process validates completeness and dependency flow across PRD, architecture, and UX inputs to produce explicitly testable stories with clear acceptance criteria.

Story mapping supports backlog creation by structuring requirement extraction and epic grouping, applying validation workflows to confirm dependency flow, and ensuring coverage mapping is complete before engineering implementation begins.

To ensure epics and user stories are approved for engineering delivery, an approval-driven validation workflow checks requirement completeness, dependency flow, and story readiness before finalizing the structured backlog.
