All library icons load from internal paths - Zero external requests for library icons - Icons load 50-200ms faster than baseline - No broken icons in production Derive epic slug from epic title (kebab-case, 2-3 words max) - "JS Library Icon Reliability" → "icon-reliability" - "OAuth Integration" → "oauth-integration" - "Admin Dashboard" → "admin-dashboard" Initialize epics.md summary document using epics_template epic_title epic_slug epic_goal epic_scope epic_success_criteria epic_dependencies Level 1 should have 2-3 stories maximum - prefer longer stories over more stories Analyze tech spec implementation tasks and time estimates Group related tasks into logical story boundaries **Story Count Decision Matrix:** **2 Stories (preferred for most Level 1):** - Use when: Feature has clear build/verify split - Example: Story 1 = Build feature, Story 2 = Test and deploy - Typical points: 3-5 points per story **3 Stories (only if necessary):** - Use when: Feature has distinct setup, build, verify phases - Example: Story 1 = Setup, Story 2 = Core implementation, Story 3 = Integration and testing - Typical points: 2-3 points per story **Never exceed 3 stories for Level 1:** - If more needed, consider if project should be Level 2 - Better to have longer stories (5 points) than more stories (5x 1-point stories) Determine story_count = 2 or 3 based on tech spec complexity For each story (2-3 total), generate separate story file Story filename format: "story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" where n = 1, 2, or 3 **Story Generation Guidelines:** - Each story = multiple implementation tasks from tech spec - Story title format: User-focused deliverable (not implementation steps) - Include technical acceptance criteria from tech spec tasks - Link back to tech spec sections for implementation details **Story Point Estimation:** - 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours) - 2 points = 1-2 days - 3 points = 2-3 days - 5 points = 3-5 days **Level 1 Typical Totals:** - Total story points: 5-10 points - 2 stories: 3-5 points each - 3 stories: 2-3 points each - If total > 15 points, consider if this should be Level 2 **Story Structure (MUST match create-story format):** - Status: Draft - Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit] - Acceptance Criteria: Numbered list from tech spec - Tasks / Subtasks: Checkboxes mapped to tech spec tasks (AC: #n references) - Dev Notes: Technical summary, project structure notes, references - Dev Agent Record: Empty sections for context workflow to populate Set story_path_{n} = "{dev_story_location}/story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" Create story file from user_story_template with the following content: - story_title: User-focused deliverable title - role: User role (e.g., developer, user, admin) - capability: What they want to do - benefit: Why it matters - acceptance_criteria: Specific, measurable criteria from tech spec - tasks_subtasks: Implementation tasks with AC references - technical_summary: High-level approach, key decisions - files_to_modify: List of files that will change - test_locations: Where tests will be added - story_points: Estimated effort (1/2/3/5) - time_estimate: Days/hours estimate - architecture_references: Links to tech-spec.md sections Generate exactly {story_count} story files (2 or 3 based on Step 3 decision) Generate visual story map showing epic → stories hierarchy Calculate total story points across all stories Estimate timeline based on total points (1-2 points per day typical) Define implementation sequence considering dependencies ## Story Map ``` Epic: Icon Reliability ├── Story 1: Build Icon Infrastructure (3 points) └── Story 2: Test and Deploy Icons (2 points) ``` **Total Story Points:** 5 **Estimated Timeline:** 1 sprint (1 week) ## Implementation Sequence 1. **Story 1** → Build icon infrastructure (setup, download, configure) 2. **Story 2** → Test and deploy (depends on Story 1) story_summaries story_map total_points estimated_timeline implementation_sequence Open {output_folder}/bmm-workflow-status.md Update "Workflow Status Tracker" section: -

Start with Story 1:** a. Load SM agent: `{project-root}/bmad/bmm/agents/sm.md` b. Run story-context workflow (select story-{epic_slug}-1.md) c. Load DEV agent: `{project-root}/bmad/bmm/agents/dev.md` d. Run dev-story workflow to implement story 1 **2. After Story 1 Complete:** - Repeat process for story-{epic_slug}-2.md - Story context will auto-reference completed story 1 **3. After Story 2 Complete:** {{#if story_3}} - Repeat process for story-{epic_slug}-3.md {{/if}} - Level 1 feature complete! **Progress Tracking:** - All decisions logged in: `bmm-workflow-status.md` - Next action clearly identified Ready to proceed? Choose your path: 1. Generate context for story 1 (recommended - run story-context) 2. Go directly to dev-story for story 1 (faster) 3.
