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
