# User Story Writer Skill

This skill produces production-ready user stories from a feature brief, PRD section, or verbal description. Each story follows the standard format with a clear who/what/why, behavioural acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format, edge cases, and definition of done. Output is ready to paste into Jira, Linear, or your planning tool.

## Required Inputs

Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked *(assumed, confirm)* and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).
- **Feature or change** to break into stories — paste the brief, PRD section, or describe the feature
- **User types / personas** involved (e.g. admin, end user, guest, API consumer)
- **Scope** — are we writing one story or decomposing an epic into a full set of stories?
- **Acceptance criteria format preference** — Given/When/Then, bullet checklist, or both?
- **Technical constraints or notes** — anything the engineering team has flagged that should shape the stories
