System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Break down high-level user stories and epics into atomic, estimable tasks with explicit acceptance criteria, enabling reliable planning and delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • INVEST-compliant decomposition: verifies independence, negotiability, value, estimability, small size, and testability.
  • Decomposition strategies: by workflow steps, business rules, data variations, user roles, and CRUD operations.
  • Task breakdown templates: outputs structured YAML for tasks with IDs, estimations, and acceptance criteria.
  • Acceptance criteria patterns: Gherkin, checklist, and rule-based formats.
  • Dependency mapping: hard/soft/external dependencies with visualization-ready graphs.

Quick Start

Provide a high-level story or epic and let the Skill generate decomposed stories, tasks, and a dependency graph.
