Define the epic as a dictionary with name, personas, scope items, and technical requirements, then call generate_epic_stories. The script returns stories with narratives, acceptance criteria, point estimates, and INVEST validation checks.

Run the script with the sprint argument followed by capacity in points, for example python scripts/user_story_generator.py sprint 30. It sorts the backlog by priority and size, fills committed stories up to capacity, and lists stretch goals up to 120 percent.

INVEST stands for Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable. The generator checks each story against these six criteria, flagging stories that are too large, vague, or dependent on other work.

No, the script uses only the Python standard library, specifically json and typing. It runs directly with Python 3 without installing any third-party dependencies.

Estimation is heuristic, based on keyword matching in the feature description rather than team velocity history or technical analysis. Treat generated points as a starting draft and calibrate them during backlog refinement with the team.
