Why does the skill create stories before the business epic?

Creating stories first forces the organization of every granular detail, making the subsequent high-level business summary more accurate and easier to roll up.

What is the main benefit of using ls-publish-epic?

It automates the tedious process of breaking down technical epics into developer stories while ensuring no requirements or test conditions are lost in the transition.

Does it modify my original source-of-truth epic?

No, the skill treats the original detailed epic as a read-only input and generates two new, distinct files for handoff purposes.

Can I use the output for tools other than Jira?

Yes. While the skill includes HTML comments specifically for Jira fields, the clear Markdown structure and logical grouping work perfectly for Linear, Trello, or GitHub Issues.

What is the 'Coverage Gate' feature?

The Coverage Gate is a validation step that verifies every Acceptance Criterion (AC) and Test Condition (TC) from the original epic has been assigned to exactly one story.

Collaboration Tools

Transforms detailed engineering epics into handoff-ready business requirements and developer story files with Jira-ready formatting.

The ls-publish-epic skill bridges the gap between technical architecture and project management by converting a source-of-truth epic into dual artifacts: a PO-friendly business overview and a detailed developer story file. It ensures 100% requirements coverage through automated tracing and coverage gates, providing field-specific Jira markers for immediate copy-pasting. This skill is essential for technical leads and engineers who need to translate complex system designs into actionable, sequenced work items for implementation teams.
