About this skill
Break down large user stories, epics, or features into smaller, independently deliverable stories using systematic splitting patterns. Use this to make work more manageable, reduce risk, enable faster feedback cycles, and maintain flow in agile development. This skill applies to user stories, epics, and any work that's too large to complete in a single sprint. This is not arbitrary slicing—it's strategic decomposition that preserves user value while reducing complexity. Based on Richard Lawrence and Peter Green's "Humanizing Work Guide to Splitting User Stories," the framework provides 8 systematic patterns for splitting work: Start with the story/epic/feature that needs splitting. Ensure it's written using the user story format (reference skills/user-story/SKILL.md or skills/epic-hypothesis/SKILL.md ). Use template.md for the full fill-in structure and output format. Work through the 8 splitting patterns in order.
