Can I use this skill without the AI-DLC framework?

While optimized for AI-DLC, it can be adapted for any project that requires structured user story documentation in Markdown format.

Where are the user stories and personas stored?

All generated content is stored in your project directory under aidlc-docs/inception/user-stories/ for easy reference and version control.

Does it create stories for every task?

No, it includes an Intelligent Assessment phase that skips story generation for pure refactoring, infrastructure-only tasks, or isolated bug fixes.

What is the INVEST criteria used by this skill?

The skill ensures all user stories are Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable to maximize development efficiency and clarity.

Why does this skill use a two-phase process?

The mandatory Planning phase allows for ambiguity resolution and manual approval before the Generation phase creates the final project artifacts.

Collaboration Tools

Transforms raw project requirements into detailed user personas and INVEST-compliant user stories through a structured two-phase workflow.

The User Story Inception skill automates the transition from requirements gathering to actionable development tasks within the AI-DLC framework. It operates in two distinct phases—Planning and Generation—to ensure alignment with project goals and technical feasibility. By generating detailed personas and user stories that adhere to INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable), this skill helps teams avoid ambiguity, maintain high-quality documentation in specialized Markdown files, and establish a clear roadmap before the implementation phase begins.
