User Stories

Create user stories following the 3 C's (Card, Conversation, Confirmation) and INVEST criteria. Generates stories with descriptions, design links, and acceptance criteria.

Use when: Writing user stories, breaking down features into stories, creating backlog items, or defining acceptance criteria.

Arguments:

  • $PRODUCT: The product or system name
  • $FEATURE: The new feature to break into stories
  • $DESIGN: Link to design files (Figma, Miro, etc.)
  • $ASSUMPTIONS: Key assumptions or context

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Analyze the feature based on provided design and context
  2. Identify user roles and distinct user journeys
  3. Apply 3 C's framework:
    • Card: Simple title and one-liner
    • Conversation: Detailed discussion of intent
    • Confirmation: Clear acceptance criteria
  4. Respect INVEST criteria: Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable
  5. Use plain language a primary school graduate can understand
  6. Link to design files for visual reference
  7. Output user stories in structured format

Story Template

Title: [Feature name]

Description: As a [user role], I want to [action], so that [benefit].

Design: [Link to design files]

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. [Clear, testable criterion]
  2. [Observable behavior]
  3. [System validates correctly]
  4. [Edge case handling]
  5. [Performance or accessibility consideration]
  6. [Integration point]

Example User Story

Title: Recently Viewed Section

  2. It is not displayed for users visiting the first product page of their session.
  3. The current product itself is excluded from the displayed items.
  4. The section showcases product cards or thumbnails with images, titles, and prices.
  5. Each product card indicates when it was viewed (e.g., 'Viewed 5 minutes ago').
  6. Clicking on a product card leads the user to the corresponding product page.

Output Deliverables

  • Complete set of user stories for the feature
  • Each story includes title, description, design link, and 4-6 acceptance criteria
  • Stories are independent and can be developed in any order
  • Stories are sized for one sprint cycle
  • Stories reference related design documentation

Academy guideStop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content.Business & ops · Apache-2.0Analyze feature requestsAnalyze and prioritize a list of feature requests by theme, strategic alignment, impact, effort, and risk.
