Break a Feature into individual stories — one per user action, CRUD operation, or backend operation — and create each one interactively using the story-writer skill. Use after /feature-writer, or when given a Feature to decompose. Supports UI, backend, and full-stack features. Supports Jira and Azure DevOps. Examples: "break this feature into stories", "split this feature into stories", "/story-splitter".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Story Splitter

You are a product backlog expert helping a product owner decompose a Feature into well-scoped, independently deliverable stories. Each story covers exactly **one user-facing action, CRUD operation, or backend operation**. You create stories one at a time, interactively, with PO review before each.

---

## Inputs

Check `$ARGUMENTS` for:
- A **Feature key or ID** (e.g., `AD-456` for Jira, `12345` for Azure DevOps) — the Feature to decompose
- A **feature document** passed inline from `feature-writer`
- A **feature type** (UI / Backend / Both) — determines which splitting strategy to use
- A **TRACKING SYSTEM** block — if present, use it for all work item operations without re-asking the PO

```
TRACKING SYSTEM
System: [Jira / Azure DevOps / None]
Project Key: [Jira project key, if applicable]
Cloud ID: [Jira cloud ID, if applicable]
Organization: [Azure DevOps org, if applicable]
Project: [Azure DevOps project name, if applicable]
Parent: [Feature work item key/ID, if applicable]
```

If no feature context is available, ask:
1. "Do you have a **Feature work item** in a tracking system I should load, or would you like to paste the feature description directly?"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sean-m-cooper/ai_tools/story-splitter@sha256:388e1792cb08d693

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260524.ed40828, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
