jtbd-to-stories

jtbd-to-stories is a skill for Claude Code from josemerca/mercadona-user-story-toolkit. It costs 246 tokens per session (2,873 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workflow for turning Jobs to Be Done, or JTBDs, into user stories. JTBDs describe what someone is trying to accomplish and the reasons behind it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map evidence-backed JTBDs into stories, define the behavior change, check the story structure, and score six quality dimensions.
Why use it?
It prevents stories from being written without evidence by requiring research findings and asking about missing information before generating them.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/score_story.py --d1=<D1> --d2=<D2> --d3=<D3> --d4=<D4> --d5=<D5> --d6=<D6>.

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

jtbd-to-stories 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 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.

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.

Changes

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.
