story-writerlisted

Turn a signed PRD into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria that a tester can run and a team can slice into releases. Use when a PRD or one-pager is approved and engineering needs a backlog, when stories in the tracker have no acceptance criteria, when a release plan cannot say which slice ships first, or when a story is too big to estimate. Takes the PRD, the personas, and the FRD where one exists; returns a story map, INVEST-checked stories with IDs, and given/when/then criteria in the acceptance criteria template.

# Story Writer: from PRD to stories a tester can fail The backlog that fails Gate 2 was decomposed by feature, not by user behavior: stories are screens, criteria restate the story title, and the first release is whatever got built first. This skill decomposes along the user's journey, so every story names a behavior change, every criterion can fail, and the first release is a thin working slice, not a pile of finished parts. ## Files this skill drives - [../../templates/definition/user-stories.md](../../templates/definition/user-stories.md), the register where every story id is defined, split and INVEST-checked - [../../templates/definition/acceptance-criteria.md](../../templates/definition/acceptance-criteria.md), where every criterion lands with a permanent ID - [../../templates/definition/prd.md](../../templates/definition/prd.md), section 3, whose story table gets its criterion IDs here - [../../frameworks/prioritization/user-story-map.md](../../frameworks/prioritization/user-story-map.md), the map the stories hang on - Reads: [../../templates/definition/frd.md](../../templates/definition/frd.md) for requirement IDs, [../../templates/discovery/personas.md](../../templates/discovery/personas.md) for actors - Method background: story mapping (Jeff Patton, 2005; book 2014), INVEST (Bill Wake, 2003), given/when/then (Dan North, behavior-driven development, 2006); story mapping is indexed in [../../knowledge/INDEX.md](../../knowledge/INDEX.md).
