What it does

User Stories is an agent skill from phuryn/pm-skills. Create user stories following the 3 C's (Card, Conversation, Confirmation) and INVEST criteria with descriptions, design links, and acceptance criteria. Use when writing user stories, breaking down features into backlog items, or defining acceptance criteria.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories. The repository describes itself as: PM Skills Marketplace: 100+ agentic skills, commands, and plugins — from discovery to strategy, execution, launch, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing user stories
  • Breaking down features into backlog items
  • Defining acceptance criteria

Example prompts

  • “/user-stories”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze the feature based on provided design and context
  2. Identify user roles and distinct user journeys
  3. Apply 3 C's framework
  4. Respect INVEST criteria: Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable
  5. Use plain language a primary school graduate can understand
  6. Link to design files for visual reference
  7. Output user stories in structured format

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8607e3b. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • productcompass.pm

    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

User Stories loads about 748 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 370 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~748

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

Auto-check passed

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.
