How does this help with release planning?

It allows you to draw horizontal slices across the story map, grouping specific user tasks into releases based on priority and deliverable user value.

Can I export the story map to other tools?

Yes, the skill supports exporting story maps as Mermaid diagrams for visual documentation and YAML files for data portability into other project management tools.

Does this work with existing requirements?

Absolutely. It is designed to work seamlessly with requirements elicited through the /discover command, turning raw notes into a structured map.
