write-story

write-story is a skill for Claude Code from cpliakas/claude-code-engineering-leaders. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-story writing guide that turns a feature, requirement, or problem into a structured story with acceptance criteria. It also checks whether the story is ready for development or should remain a backlog item.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or refine development stories from a feature description, including concrete acceptance criteria and a readiness assessment.
Why use it?
It makes requirements clearer and more testable, while avoiding detailed planning for work whose dependencies or timing are not ready.

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 A, and why

write-story scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 7d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write Story

Write a complete, high-quality user story with INVEST validation.

Input

$ARGUMENTS = description of the feature, requirement, or problem to solve.

Process

1. Gather Context

  • Read the project's CLAUDE.md for architecture, conventions, and domain language
  • Scan for a roadmap or backlog file if one exists (Glob for roadmap*, backlog*, TODO*)
  • Understand the domain well enough to write specific, testable criteria

Readiness assessment:

  • If the story has hard blockers on unstarted work (entire epics or phases that have not begun), classify readiness as backlog and skip to the Backlog-Tier Output section at the end of this skill
  • If dependencies are complete or actively in-progress, classify readiness as sprint-ready and continue the full process below

Detailed specification should happen at pull time, not envisioning time. Stories deep in the backlog will change as the project evolves — investing in full acceptance criteria and technical notes for work that is months away produces waste. A lightweight backlog entry captures intent and scope; the full story gets written when the team is ready to start.

2. Assess Context Sufficiency

Gate: If readiness is backlog, skip to the Backlog-Tier Output section.

Before drafting, evaluate whether the input provides enough detail across four dimensions:

Dimension Sufficient when Prompt if underspecified
Persona A specific role or actor is named or clearly implied "Who is the primary user or actor for this requirement?"
Observable behavior The desired system behavior is concrete enough to demonstrate "What should the system do — what would a user see or experience?"
Benefit / motivation A reason or outcome beyond restating the capability is present "Why does this matter — what problem does it solve or what outcome does it enable?"
Scope boundaries At least a rough sense of what is in and out of scope is present "What is explicitly out of scope or deferred for this work?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
