Story or task in disguise?
A backlog item that reads like an implementation note.
Shortstoriesbacklog
Is this a real user story or a task in disguise? Rewrite it as a story if it is the latter.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Specs and stories. Turning a vague request into something a team can build: specs, PRDs, stories and acceptance criteria.
