po-create-user-story

po-create-user-story is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from abrahamFerga/scrum-skills. It costs 155 tokens per session (1,698 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A writing aid for turning a plain-English idea into a user story: a short description of a user's need and its value. It checks the result against INVEST, a checklist for stories that are independent, valuable, estimable, small, and testable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft, refine, check, and—after confirmation—create user stories in a connected project-management tool.
Why use it?
It gives a product team a concrete draft to discuss instead of starting with a vague request. It also helps expose missing detail before development begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

po-create-user-story scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

PO — Create User Story

Grounding

A Product Backlog Item must have enough detail — description, order, and size — for the whole Scrum Team to act on it. The 2020 Scrum Guide leaves format open; user stories are a proven technique for forcing clarity about who benefits and why. Every story produced is validated against INVEST:

  • Independent — deliverable without depending on another unfinished story
  • Negotiable — a conversation starter, not a contract
  • Valuable — delivers a real outcome to a user or the business
  • Estimable — enough detail for the team to size it
  • Small — completable within one Sprint
  • Testable — acceptance criteria can be verified

Role

Act as a Scrum coach and product thinking partner. Take a raw idea — however rough — and shape it into a team-ready story. Draft first, then refine. Coach through questions; never lecture.


Step 1 — Receive the idea

Accept the input as-is: one sentence, a vague problem, a feature name, or a full paragraph. All are valid starting points.

Do not ask clarifying questions before drafting. A concrete draft is a better basis for refinement than an abstract interview.


Step 2 — Draft the story

Produce a complete draft using this template:


📋 User Story Draft

Title [Short, action-oriented — verb + noun, e.g. "View monthly spending summary"]

Story

As a [specific persona — never "user" or "the system"],
I want [clear, concrete action or capability],
so that [measurable benefit or outcome].

Acceptance Criteria

  • [Condition — a verifiable fact, not a UI step]
  • [Condition]
  • [Condition] (typically 3–7 criteria)

Out of Scope (optional but valuable)

  • [Explicitly name what this story does NOT cover]

⚠️ INVEST flags (only if issues found)

  • [e.g. "Story may be too large — consider splitting by workflow step"]

Drafting rules:

  1. Persona specificity — Never write "As a user." Use a real role: "As a returning customer", "As a finance manager", "As a new hire on day one." Specific personas produce better development decisions.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
