user-story

User stories become structured capability cards by mapping requirements to a verb-noun naming pattern and defining 3-5 Gherkin scenarios as acceptance criteria for confirmation. This ensures each capability is traceable and testable.

Organizing requirements into capability cards involves mapping each capability 1:1 to a package directory using a verb-noun pattern, then co-locating a .feature file inside to serve as living documentation for the domain.

Structuring Gherkin scenarios for a capability requires writing 3-5 confirmation scenarios per capability card. These scenarios are stored in a co-located .feature file within the corresponding package directory to prove the capability works.

You need capability cards when capturing requirements, onboarding agents to a domain, or writing user stories. They convert ambiguous requirements into structured, reusable cards that map directly to package directories.

Yes, this approach requires co-locating a .feature file in each package directory. This file holds the 3-5 Gherkin scenarios that act as living documentation and confirmation for the verb-noun capability card.

A verb-noun naming pattern structures user stories into clear, reusable capability cards that map 1:1 to package directories. This reduces ambiguity and creates traceable conversation and confirmation definitions for each capability.
