SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Break down a user story into a curated set of atomic development tasks with clear scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria to guide implementation and review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based decomposition: reads the story, decomposes into atomic tasks, and templates each task with objective, scope, and "done" criteria.
  • Enforces constraints: max seven tasks per story, explicit dependencies, and verifiable completion checks to prevent vague work.
  • Output format: task-by-task templates that can be reviewed and executed in order.

Quick Start

Provide a complete user story in the standard 'As a ..., I want ..., So that ...' format and the skill will decompose it into atomic tasks with explicit dependencies and clear done criteria.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a user story into actionable development tasks?

To break down a user story, you provide a standard 'As a..., I want..., So that...' format, and the tool decomposes it into atomic development tasks with explicit dependencies and verifiable acceptance criteria.

What is the maximum number of tasks allowed when decomposing a user story?

The maximum number of tasks allowed when decomposing a user story is seven, ensuring a structured breakdown with clear scope, explicit dependencies, and objective 'done' criteria to prevent vague work.

How do I add acceptance criteria to user story task templates?

Acceptance criteria are added automatically through a task-by-task template that defines the objective, scope, and verifiable completion checks for each atomic task during user story decomposition.

Does agile workflow task planning require explicit dependencies for each story?

Yes, agile workflow task planning here requires explicit dependencies for each story, enforcing a maximum of seven atomic tasks with clearly defined 'done' criteria to guide implementation and review.

What is the best way to structure task planning for a ready user story?

The best way to structure task planning is using a phase-based decomposition that templates each atomic task with its objective, scope, and 'done' criteria, presenting them in a reviewable and executable order.
