create-stories

create-stories is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from striderZA/OpenCodeGameStudios. It costs 65 tokens per session (3,075 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of create-stories, MIT.

A workflow that breaks one epic into smaller story files. An epic is a large piece of work, while a story is a focused task that can be implemented and tested in one session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create implementation stories for an epic, including their test evidence and project references.
Why use it?
It turns broad technical work into traceable tasks with requirements, design guidance, and acceptance checks.

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

create-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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to create-stories — 36 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 314 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Stories

A story is a single implementable behaviour — small enough to complete in one focused session, self-contained, and fully traceable to a GDD requirement and an ADR decision. Stories are what developers pick up. Epics are what architects define.

Run this skill per epic, not per layer. Run it for Foundation epics first, then Core, and so on — matching the dependency order.

Output: production/epics/[epic-slug]/story-NNN-[slug].md files

Previous step: /create-epics [system] Next step after stories exist: /story-readiness [story-path] then /dev-story [story-path]


1. Parse Argument

Extract --review [full|lean|solo] if present and store as the review mode override for this run. If not provided, read production/review-mode.txt (default full if missing). This resolved mode applies to all gate spawns in this skill — apply the check pattern from docs/framework/director-gates.md before every gate invocation.

  • /create-stories [epic-slug] — e.g. /create-stories combat
  • /create-stories production/epics/combat/EPIC.md — full path also accepted
  • No argument — ask: "Which epic would you like to break into stories?" Glob production/epics/*/EPIC.md and list available epics with their status.

2. Load Everything for This Epic

Read in full:

  • production/epics/[epic-slug]/EPIC.md — epic overview, governing ADRs, GDD requirements table
  • The epic's GDD (design/gdd/[filename].md) — read all 8 sections, especially Acceptance Criteria, Formulas, and Edge Cases
  • All governing ADRs listed in the epic — read the Decision, Implementation Guidelines, Engine Compatibility, and Engine Notes sections
  • docs/architecture/control-manifest.md — extract rules for this epic's layer; note the Manifest Version date from the header
  • docs/architecture/tr-registry.yaml — load all TR-IDs for this system

ADR existence validation: After reading the governing ADRs list from the epic, confirm each ADR file exists on disk. If any ADR file cannot be found, stop immediately before decomposing any story:

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.
