Defining Stories

Epic vs Story

Document	Purpose	When to Create
Epic	Design document defining scope and technical approach	Starting a larger feature
Story	Incremental deliverable with acceptance criteria	As needed during development

Agile approach: Stories emerge during development. Create each story when ready to implement.

User Story Format

As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit].

Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] **Given** [precondition], **When** you [action], **Then** [expected result]

Focus on user-observable behavior
Include happy paths AND error cases
Leave checkboxes unchecked (PO checks them)

Verification Approach

Define how criteria will be verified:

Project Type	Options
CLI	Direct command execution
API	curl/httpie, API testing tools
Web UI	E2E tests, browser MCP tools
Mobile	Device/emulator, MCP tools
Library	Unit/integration tests

If MCP tools or skills for testing are available, use them. If unsure, ask PO.

Story Log

File: docs/stories/<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS>_<name>.story.md

date -u +"%Y%m%dT%H%M%S"  # Generate timestamp

Use the story-template skill for structure.

Epic Documents

Directory: docs/stories/<YYYYMMDD>_<epic-name>/ File: <YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS>_<epic-name>.epic.md

Use the epic-template skill for structure.
