What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams capture requirements from the user perspective using structured user stories, guiding backlog creation, acceptance criteria, prioritization, and clear communication between product and development.

Core Features & Use Cases

• User Story Format: Use the standard template to articulate who, what, and why.
• INVEST Criteria: Ensure independence, value, estimability, scoping, and testability.
• Acceptance Criteria: Define specific, testable conditions for completion.
• Use Case Scenarios: Break epics into granular stories for planning and delivery.
• Use Case example: Writing a backlog item to define a feature and its success metrics.
