Can this skill modify my project management board?

Yes, it is designed to update Linear tasks, add comments with research evidence, and move stories from Backlog to Todo once they pass validation.

Does it handle technical task ordering?

Yes, it enforces a 'Foundation-First' order, ensuring tasks are logically sequenced from Database to Repository, Service, API, and finally Frontend.

What does the Story Validator actually check?

It checks 20 specific criteria including story structure, Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, library versions, security standards (OWASP), and design principles like YAGNI and KISS.

How does it stay up to date with 2025 standards?

The skill uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) research tools to perform live queries for the latest RFCs, security vulnerabilities, and library changelogs.

Productivity & Workflow

Validates and auto-fixes Agile stories and tasks against 2025 industry standards and project architecture before execution.

About

The ln-320-story-validator acts as a high-performance quality gate for Agile workflows, ensuring that every user story and task meets rigorous professional standards before development begins. It automatically analyzes story structures, verifies library versions via real-time research, and enforces architectural principles like SOLID, KISS, and YAGNI. By integrating directly with Linear, it performs automated fixes on acceptance criteria, technical notes, and task hierarchies, moving items from Backlog to Todo only when they are technically sound and fully documented.

Key Features

Real-time research into 2025 RFC standards and library versioning
Automated 20-point validation checklist for stories and sub-tasks
Intelligent scope optimization to remove over-engineering and premature features
12 GitHub stars
Direct Linear integration for automated status updates and commenting
Auto-fixing of acceptance criteria into Given/When/Then formats

Use Cases

Standardizing documentation across large engineering teams using Linear
Pre-sprint backlog grooming to ensure tasks are ready for development
Automated technical debt prevention by enforcing architectural standards at the planning stage
