user-story

user-story is a skill for Claude Code from Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed. It costs 177 tokens per session (4,538 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided feature-development process that turns a rough request into planned, implemented, reviewed, and integrated work through the Sidequest board.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate requirements, compare architecture proposals, build a complete backlog, run parallel implementation waves, and review the finished changes.
Why use it?
It gives larger changes a structured path from design decisions to a verified result, while scaling the amount of planning to the size of the work.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

user-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 — 333 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

user-story

A guided path from "build me X" to integrated, verified work on main. Two ideas run through all of it:

The orchestrator holds the plan; executors hold the code. It is the most expensive model in the loop and the worst implementer available, because its context is the scarcest resource in the system. Judging plans is its job. Writing and reviewing diffs is not.

The ceremony scales to the work. A three-proposal design panel and a five-lens review are right for a subsystem that changes an on-disk format, and pure waste for a new CLI flag. You decide the size, you state it, and every step below reads off that decision.

Board mechanics live in the sidequest skill (claim lifecycle, dispatch fields, routing, publish transaction) and its references/. Read ../sidequest/references/orchestration.md before a first wave. This skill is the sequence and the sizing, not a second copy of those rules.

Size it first

Sizing is a call you make and state in a line, not a question you ask the user. Read these signals:

  • Independently checkable pieces: one, a handful, or many.
  • Surfaces crossed: one module, or store plus CLI plus MCP plus UI plus hooks plus docs.
  • Reversibility: a schema, migration, on-disk format, wire format, or public API is expensive to undo. Internal helpers are not.
  • Is the approach contested? More than one defensible architecture, with real trade-offs between them, is the single strongest reason to run a design panel.
  • Blast radius: does existing behavior change for people already using this?
  • Stakes: data loss, auth, money, the release path itself.

Three sizes, and what each dial does at each:

Dial One ticket One wave Multi-wave
Recon inline Read/Grep/Explore plus one exploration ticket when the seam is unclear 2-3 parallel exploration tickets on distinct angles
Questions none, state assumptions one batched round if a contract-changing call exists one batched round, expect a real decision
Design write the contract yourself one planning or spike ticket when the approach is open 2-3 competing proposals, judged and merged into one contract
Backlog one ticket, no story story plus the wave's full backlog story plus the full backlog for every wave, dependency-linked
Execution one executor one parallel wave wave after wave, re-planned between
Review the done-oracle oracle plus one review-audit when the oracle is thin a review panel with distinct lenses, by default
Integration integrate and close integrate the wave, full suite once integrate per wave, full suite per wave, decisions logged between

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.

user-story is a skill published in the GitHub repository Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed (37 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 177 tokens to every session and 4,538 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
