What problem does it solve?
Refine epics and stories through cross-functional analysis and requirements gathering to produce actionable backlog items that align stakeholders and drive delivery.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Agent delegation: Delegate requirements analysis, backlog refinement, and story breakdown to the agile-delivery-lead sub-agent to ensure clear business value.
- Phase-driven workflow: Enforces phase boundaries (Epic Refinement, Story Refinement) with STOP prompts after each phase to secure alignment.
- Execution-ready artifacts: Produces well-scoped tickets with mandatory flags (parent and description) ready for creation.
- Cross-functional gaps: Identifies security, QA, and UX considerations during refinement to improve quality and compliance.
Quick Start
Start by delegating refinement tasks to the agile-delivery-lead sub-agent and initiating Phase 1 (Title & Description). Then proceed through Phases 2–5, stopping after each phase for user input. When ready, generate execution-ready stories with a command pattern like:
bd create --parent <epic-id> --description "<desc + AC>" "<title>"
