SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing consistent, well-structured work items (initiatives, epics, features, stories, bugs, spikes, enhancements, tasks) is time-consuming, and teams often produce incomplete or inconsistently formatted tickets that slow down planning and backlog refinement. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Eight Work Item Types: Supports the full hierarchy from strategic Initiatives down to developer Tasks, each with a dedicated Markdown template. - Interactive Context Gathering: Asks targeted questions per type, infers details already provided, and gently steers users toward the right item type (e.g., Bug vs. Enhancement). - Optional Classification Fields: Supports Area Path, Impact, Value Area, Value Ranking, Priority, and Fibonacci-based Effort estimation, omitting any fields the user does not provide. - Use Case: A developer reports "the login button fails on mobile Safari." The skill infers a Bug, extracts environment and reproduction context, asks only for missing details, and produces a complete bug document from the bug template. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a bug report for the login failure you observed on mobile Safari, including steps to reproduce and expected behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a structured bug report with an AI assistant?

Describe the problem in natural language, including expected behavior, actual behavior, and steps to reproduce. The skill infers the Bug type, extracts details you already mentioned like environment, asks only for missing content, and generates a complete document from the bug template.

What work item types does this generator support?

It supports eight types across two tiers: product-side Initiatives, Epics, and Features, plus developer-side Stories, Bugs, Spikes, Enhancements, and Tasks. Features parent the developer-side items, and Tasks break those items into concrete steps.

How is effort estimated for stories and tasks?

Effort uses Fibonacci story points (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21) computed as raw hours multiplied by complexity and risk factors, then snapped to the nearest Fibonacci value. Product-side items derive effort by summing their children.

Are classification fields like priority and area path required?

No, all classification fields are optional at creation time. If you provide them they are included; otherwise they are omitted entirely from the output with no empty placeholders, since classification is typically refined later during backlog refinement.

What is the difference between a bug and an enhancement?

A Bug describes something objectively broken or behaving differently than specified, while an Enhancement covers refactoring, tech debt reduction, or improvements to functionality that works. The skill gently suggests the better fit if your description mismatches the chosen type.
