Prioritized backlog of user stories with checkable acceptance criteria (docs/STORIES.md) for a macOS app, built from a brief, research, or screen index. Use after app-brief or clone, or when the user asks for user stories, a backlog, a feature list, or "what do we build first".
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
# User stories Screens show what an app looks like. Stories say what a person does with it. You build and test stories, not screens. Read `docs/BRIEF.md`, `docs/research/*.md`, and `docs/screens/INDEX.md` where they exist. Write `docs/STORIES.md`. ## Story format ```markdown ### S-012 Complete a task with the keyboard As the user, I select a task and press Command-Return to complete it. Screens: 01-inbox.png, 02-today.png Depends: S-004 Acceptance: - [snap] The circle fills and the row fades out within half a second. - [self] An "Undo" banner shows for five seconds; Command-Z also undoes it. - [unit] A recurring task moves to its next date. Status: todo ``` - One action per story. "Rename a project from its context menu", not "Manage projects". - Every acceptance line starts with how it is checked: `[snap]` snapshot, `[unit]` unit test, `[self]` self-test, `[manual]` a person must try it. "Works well" is not checkable. - `Screens:` links reference screenshots, so `improve-loop` knows what to compare. Without a reference app, name the snapshot pages that will show the story. A panel, sheet, or menu needs its own snapshot page. …

How to install
mdr add tomcounsell/ai/user-stories@sha256:46b02307d2f47801The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.b1054fc, 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.
