Story Decomposition

Capabilities

Breaks technical specifications into small, independently implementable stories. Establishes dependency ordering, estimates effort, and creates a dispatching queue for parallel coder execution.

Tool Use Instructions

  • Use Read to examine the technical specification and existing code
  • Use Grep/Glob to find existing modules and interfaces that stories will touch
  • Use Write to generate story definitions
  • Use Edit to refine stories based on feedback

Process Integration

  • Used in maestro-orchestrator.js Phase 3 (Story Decomposition)
  • Used in maestro-development.js (Story Prioritization)
  • Maps to tasks: maestro-architect-story-decomp, maestro-dev-prioritize
  • Agent: Architect
  • Each story should be completable by a single coder in one batch
  • Outputs feed into parallel coder dispatch
