Agile Product Owner

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Turning requirements into user stories with testable acceptance criteria
• Breaking a large epic into stories that fit a sprint
• Planning a sprint based on team velocity and availability
• Prioritizing a backlog with explicit weights

Example prompts

• “Write user stories for exporting campaign reports to PDF, with Given-When-Then criteria.”
• “Split the checkout redesign epic into sprint-sized stories.”
• “Plan next sprint from our velocity and list which backlog items fit.”

Requirements

• Python, for `scripts/user_story_generator.py`

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Identify the persona (who benefits from this feature)
2. 2Define the action or capability needed
3. 3Articulate the benefit or value delivered
4. 4Write acceptance criteria using Given-When-Then
5. 5Estimate story points using Fibonacci scale
6. 6Validate against INVEST criteria
7. 7Add to backlog with priority
8. 8Validation: Story passes all INVEST criteria; acceptance criteria are testable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. 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

  Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python

  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

Agile Product Owner loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,012 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~83

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

~3.2k

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

~7.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Agile product ownership for backlog management and sprint execution. Covers user story writing, acceptance criteria, sprint planning, and velocity tracking. Use when writing user stories, creating acceptance criteria, planning sprints, estimating story points, breaking down epics, or prioritizing the backlog.

not_for

Kanban-only workflows, waterfall project planning, general task management, non-Scrum agile frameworks (SAFe, LeSS) without adaptation

As a [persona],
I want to [action/capability],
So that [benefit/value].

As a marketing manager,
I want to export campaign reports to PDF,
So that I can share results with stakeholders who don't have system access.

Given [precondition/context],
When [action/trigger],
Then [expected outcome].

Given the user is logged in with valid credentials,
When they click the "Export" button,
Then a PDF download starts within 2 seconds.

Given the user has entered an invalid email format,
When they submit the registration form,
Then an inline error message displays "Please enter a valid email address."

Given the shopping cart contains items,
When the user refreshes the browser,
Then the cart contents remain unchanged.
