gabrielmoreira Create Story
Goal
Create one well-formed user story with full acceptance criteria, ready for sprint planning and JIRA.
Activation
Ask (or infer from the user's request):
- Which epic does this story belong to?
- What feature or behavior does it cover?
- Which persona / user benefits?
Story Creation
Walk through story fields interactively:
1. User Story
Draft: "As a {persona}, I want to {action} so that {outcome}." Present draft. Ask: "Does this capture the intent?"
2. Context
Ask: "Any background the developer needs? Existing code, APIs, or architecture decisions to reference?"
3. Acceptance Criteria
Guide the user through ACs:
- "What must happen for this to be done?"
- "What happens in the error/edge case?"
- Push for at least 3 ACs (happy path, alternate path, error path)
Format:
Given / When / Then
4. Technical Notes
Ask: "Any specific architecture notes? Which component owns this? Any relevant ADRs or data models?"
5. Story Points
Estimate together using the scale:
| Points | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | < 2 hours |
| 2 | < half day |
| 3 | ~1 day |
| 5 | 2–3 days |
| 8 | ~1 week |
| 13 | Too large — split it |
6. Dependencies
Ask: "Does this block anything? Is it blocked by any other story?"
Save
Assign next available S-ID from the backlog.
Save to {implementation_artifacts}/stories/S-{id}-{slug}.md.
Update {project_name}-backlog.md to include the new story under its epic.
JIRA Offer
"Story created: S-{id}: {title}. Want to create this in JIRA now? (
