user-story-mappingLays out a user journey as activities, steps, and tasks on a two-dimensional map that then informs backlog slicing.
Jeff Patton's story-mapping method arranges work along two axes: a horizontal backbone of high-level activities broken into steps and tasks in narrative order, and a vertical axis where top rows hold essential MVP tasks and lower rows hold nice-to-have future work. Drawing a horizontal release line across the map turns priority into an actual release plan, and the map itself works as a strategic artifact showing how users reach their goals, which only then determines what gets built.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
User Story Mapping loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,027 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,027 words (~2,847 tokens).
“Visualize the user journey by creating a hierarchical map that breaks down high-level activities into steps and tasks, organized left-to-right as a narrative flow. Use this to build shared understanding across product, design, and engineering, prioritize features based on user…”

Lays out a user journey as activities, steps, and tasks on a two-dimensional map that then informs backlog slicing. Jeff Patton's story-mapping method arranges work along two axes: a horizontal backbone of high-level activities broken into steps and tasks in narrative order, and a vertical axis where top rows hold essential MVP tasks and lower rows hold nice-to-have future work. Drawing a horizontal release line across the map turns priority into an actual release plan, and the map itself works as a strategic artifact showing how users reach their goals, which only then determines what gets built.
User Story Mapping fits situations like: planning an MVP slice around an actual user workflow; building shared understanding across product, design, and engineering; spotting gaps in a user journey before writing backlog items.
Run `npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill user-story-mapping -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/user-story-mapping in deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills) into .claude/skills/user-story-mapping in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill user-story-mapping -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/user-story-mapping in deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills) into .agents/skills/user-story-mapping in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill user-story-mapping -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/user-story-mapping, .gemini/skills/user-story-mapping, .github/skills/user-story-mapping and .opencode/skills/user-story-mapping in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: User Story Mapping is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
User Story Mapping has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
About 2.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
