- Consulting _all_ relevant approved technical reference documents (`docs/architecture.md`, `docs/tech-stack.md`, `docs/project-structure.md`, `docs/api-reference.md`, `docs/data-models.md`, `docs/coding-standards.md`, `docs/environment-vars.md`, `docs/testing-strategy.md`, `docs/ui-ux-spec.md` if applicable).
- Reviewing the _previous completed story file_ (`ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md` if applicable) for relevant context or adjustments.
- **Extracting and injecting only the necessary, story-specific technical context** into the appropriate sections of the story template ("Technical Implementation Context", "Testing Requirements").
- **Extracting and injecting only the necessary, story-specific technical context** from various source documents, while avoiding duplication of information already known to the Developer Agent.
- Ensuring the final story file contains **all** information needed for a developer agent to complete the work with minimal ambiguity (acting as a single source of truth for that specific task).

3. **Gather Story Requirements:** Open the relevant `docs/epicX.md` file and extract the Title, Goal/User Story, Detailed Requirements, Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any initial Tasks for the identified next Story X.Y.
4. **Gather Technical & Historical Context:**
- Based _only_ on the requirements and ACs for Story X.Y, query the following _approved_ documents in the `docs/` directory to find relevant technical details:
- `architecture.md`: For high-level context if needed.
- `project-structure.md`: To determine specific file paths.
- `tech-stack.md`: To identify relevant libraries/versions.
- `api-reference.md`: For details on specific APIs/SDKs used.
- `data-models.md`: For specific data structures used.
- `coding-standards.md`: For relevant patterns or rules to emphasize.
- `environment-vars.md`: For required env vars.
- `testing-strategy.md`: For required testing approaches.
- `ui-ux-spec.md` (if applicable): For UI details.
- `architecture.md`: Extract **only** the specific sections/diagrams relevant to the components being modified in this story. Do not include the entire architecture document.
- `project-structure.md`: Do not copy the entire structure. The Developer Agent already knows this. Only reference specific paths relevant to this story.
- `tech-stack.md`: Only extract technologies directly used in this specific story, not the entire stack.
- `api-reference.md`: Extract only the specific API endpoints or services relevant to the story.
- `data-models.md`: Extract only the specific data models/entities used in this story, not all models.
- `coding-standards.md`: Do not repeat the standard coding patterns. The Developer Agent already knows these. Only note any story-specific exceptions or particularly relevant patterns.
- `environment-vars.md`: Include only the specific environment variables needed for this story.
- `testing-strategy.md`: Extract only the testing approach relevant to the specific components in this story.
- `ui-ux-spec.md` (if applicable): Include only mockups, flows, or component specifications for the UI elements being developed in this story.
- **Review Previous Story:** If Story X.Y is not the first story (i.e., Y > 1), locate the _previous_ story file (`ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md`). Briefly review its "Completion Notes" or "Change Log" for any adjustments or context that might impact the new story X.Y.
5. **Populate Story Template:**
- Load the content structure from `docs/templates/story-template.md`.
- Fill in the standard information extracted in Step 3 (Title, Goal, Requirements, ACs, Tasks). Set `Status: Draft` initially.
- **Inject Technical Context:** Carefully place the specific, relevant snippets extracted in Step 4 into the corresponding subsections of the "Technical Implementation Context" (Relevant Files, Key Technologies, API Interactions, Data Structures, Environment Variables, Coding Standards Notes). Add hints referencing the source document (e.g., `*(Hint: See docs/api-reference.md#ServiceName)*`). Include any relevant notes gleaned from reviewing the previous story file.
- **Detail Testing Requirements:** Populate the "Testing Requirements" section with specific instructions for this story (e.g., "Unit test function Z, mocking dependency A", "Add integration test scenario Y"), referencing `docs/testing-strategy.md`.
- **Inject Technical Context:** Carefully place the specific, relevant snippets extracted in Step 4 into the corresponding subsections of the "Technical Implementation Context" (Relevant Files, Key Technologies, API Interactions, Data Structures, Environment Variables, Coding Standards Notes).
- For standard documents that the Developer Agent knows, use references rather than repetition:
- For Coding Standards: Only include exceptions or particularly relevant patterns with a note like "_(Follow `docs/coding-standards.md`, with these story-specific considerations)_"
- For Project Structure: Simply reference with "_(See full structure in `docs/project-structure.md`)_" after listing the specific files to create/modify
- For larger documents, include hints directing to the source: "_(Hint: See docs/api-reference.md#ServiceName)_"
- Include any relevant notes gleaned from reviewing the previous story file.
- **Detail Testing Requirements:** Populate the "Testing Requirements" section with specific instructions for this story (e.g., "Unit test function Z, mocking dependency A", "Add integration test scenario Y"), referencing the relevant sections in `docs/testing-strategy.md` rather than duplicating the entire testing strategy.
6. **Generate Output File:** Save the fully populated content to the designated output directory using the correct naming convention: `ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md`. (Ensure the path uses `stories/` not `ai/stories/`).
7. **Signal Readiness:** Update the `Status:` within the newly created `ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md` file from `Draft` to `Ready`. Report success, indicating that `ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md` is now 'Ready' for development.
7. **Validate Story Completeness:** Before finalizing the story, apply the streamlined validation checklist in `docs/templates/story-draft-checklist.md` to ensure the story provides sufficient context for a developer agent to implement it successfully:
- Run through each section of the checklist, evaluating the story objectively
- Focus on ensuring the story provides adequate context while allowing the dev agent to use reasonable problem-solving skills
- Verify that key information is included, but don't overspecify details the dev agent can reasonably determine
- If critical gaps are identified that would prevent implementation, revise the story to address them
- If you cannot resolve certain gaps due to missing information in the source documents, mark the story as `Status: Draft (Needs Input)` and note what specific information is needed
- If the story provides sufficient context for implementation, proceed to the next step
8. **Signal Readiness:** If the story passes validation, update the `Status:` within the newly created `ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md` file from `Draft` to `Ready`. Report success, indicating that `ai/stories/{epicNumber}.{storyNumber}.story.md` is now 'Ready' for development.
