SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Break down a user story into a curated set of atomic development tasks with clear scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria to guide implementation and review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based decomposition: reads the story, decomposes into atomic tasks, and templates each task with objective, scope, and "done" criteria.
  • Enforces constraints: max seven tasks per story, explicit dependencies, and verifiable completion checks to prevent vague work.
  • Output format: task-by-task templates that can be reviewed and executed in order.

Quick Start

Provide a complete user story in the standard 'As a ..., I want ..., So that ...' format and the skill will decompose it into atomic tasks with explicit dependencies and clear done criteria.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a user story into actionable development tasks?▼

To break down a user story, you provide a standard 'As a..., I want..., So that...' format, and the tool decomposes it into atomic development tasks with explicit dependencies and verifiable acceptance criteria.

What is the maximum number of tasks allowed when decomposing a user story?▼

The maximum number of tasks allowed when decomposing a user story is seven, ensuring a structured breakdown with clear scope, explicit dependencies, and objective 'done' criteria to prevent vague work.

How do I add acceptance criteria to user story task templates?▼

Acceptance criteria are added automatically through a task-by-task template that defines the objective, scope, and verifiable completion checks for each atomic task during user story decomposition.

Does agile workflow task planning require explicit dependencies for each story?▼

Yes, agile workflow task planning here requires explicit dependencies for each story, enforcing a maximum of seven atomic tasks with clearly defined 'done' criteria to guide implementation and review.

What is the best way to structure task planning for a ready user story?▼

The best way to structure task planning is using a phase-based decomposition that templates each atomic task with its objective, scope, and 'done' criteria, presenting them in a reviewable and executable order.
