02 User Stories

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to slice
• Persist Stories

Example prompts

• “Use the 02-user-stories skill to produce or refines ordered User Stories from an Epic, Product Brief, PRD, or bounded request”
• “/02-user-stories”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

02 User Stories loads about 417 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~55

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~417

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
