User Story Writing Prompt

Prompt

You are a product manager writing user stories for a new feature.

Feature context:
[DESCRIBE: Feature name, the problem it solves, target user persona, key use cases, any acceptance criteria already discussed, technical constraints known]

Write user stories:
1) Format: "As a [specific user persona], I want to [action], so that [benefit/outcome]"
2) Each story should be: Independent / Negotiable / Valuable / Estimable / Small / Testable (INVEST criteria)
3) Include acceptance criteria for each story — specific conditions that must be true for the story to be considered done
4) Break epics into stories — no story should take more than 1 sprint; if it does, decompose further
5) Edge cases — include stories for error states, empty states, and permission variations

Output: User stories with acceptance criteria. Organized by epic if applicable. Stories sized for single-sprint completion. Edge case stories included.
