kolea: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/user-stories/SKILL.md

user-stories is a skill for Claude Code from robconery/kolea. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,443 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid for turning product ideas into user stories: short descriptions of what a user needs and why. It records them with Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, a format that states the starting conditions, action, and expected result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, split, and refine user stories and acceptance criteria in /docs/STORIES.md, including normal and error cases.
Why use it?
It turns vague product requests into a structured backlog that developers can understand and test. It also prepares the stories for behavior-driven development, where examples guide implementation and testing.

This is robconery/kolea's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kolea itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kolea configures →

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-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 2mo 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

User Stories

Turn product intent into a structured, testable backlog in /docs/STORIES.md. The output is the input to the bdd-specs skill, so the structure here is not cosmetic — it is a contract. Get the format right and stories flow into executable specs and then code with no manual reshaping.

The pipeline you sit in

product intent ──▶ [user-stories] ──▶ /docs/STORIES.md ──▶ [bdd-specs] ──▶ spec files ──▶ code

bdd-specs reads /docs/STORIES.md and /docs/PLAN.md and generates nested specs: Feature > Scenario > Specification, where each Scenario arranges its data once and every Specification makes exactly one assertion, happy paths first and exhaustively, sad paths in their own block.

So map deliberately:

Story artifact Becomes in bdd-specs
One story One Feature
One acceptance criterion One Scenario
Given / When / Then steps The Scenario's arrange / act / assert
Each distinct Then One Specification (one assertion)
Happy-path criteria Listed first, exhaustively
Error / edge criteria A separate "sad path" group

Write acceptance criteria as Given/When/Then from the start. That single habit is what makes the handoff clean.

Workflow

1. Establish context before writing

A story carries product knowledge the codebase does not. Do not invent the role, the goal, or the value. If the user hands you a vague feature ("add notifications"), interview rather than guess:

  • Who is this for? (the role — be specific: "billing admin", not "user")
  • What do they want to do?
  • Why — what outcome or pain does it address? A story whose "so that" is hollow ("...so that I can use the feature") is usually a task, not a story.
  • What does done look like? What must be observably true?
  • What is explicitly out of scope for this story?

Ask the smallest number of questions that unblock you. If the user says "just draft it and I'll correct it", do that — draft, mark assumptions with > ASSUMPTION: lines, and let them react. Reacting is faster than specifying.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
