story-master
Skill0 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Houses the scaffold_stories.py and verify_stories.py scripts used by the story-master agent (prompts/story-master.agent.md) to generate and validate STORIES.md backlog files. This skill is not directly invocable; it is a script-housing skill that the story-master agent shells out to. This skill provides only scaffolding and verification functionality; backlog decomposition is handled by the story-master agent, code review by guardian, and implementation planning by story-planner agent.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

story-master
Script-housing skill for the story-master agent. The story-master agent (defined in
prompts/story-master.agent.md) reads an approved SPEC.md, decomposes it into a structured
user-story backlog, and writes .copilot/stories/STORIES.md. This skill provides the scaffolding
and verification scripts that enforce the §3.1 STORIES.md schema and prevent silent schema drift
from breaking the downstream close-story verification step.
Scripts
| Script | Purpose |
| ./scripts/scaffold_stories.py | Generates a .copilot/stories/STORIES.md skeleton with the summary table header, execution wave placeholder sections, and coupled-pairs table. story-master fills in the rows. |
| ./scripts/verify_stories.py | Validates a STORIES.md file against the §3.1 schema through modular checks: (1) column set validation, (2) enum values validation, (3) dependency references validation, (4) H3 detail sections validation, (5) wave consistency validation. Exits 0 on pass, 1 on failure. |
| ./scripts/stories_lock.py | Provides atomic read-modify-write access to STORIES.md via exclusive file locking. Commands: acquire (obtains lock), release --force (releases lock). Used by close-story to prevent concurrent stamps. |
| ./scripts/failure_catalog.py | Catalogs known failure modes for story lifecycle operations (missing plan, missing report, lock contention, invalid story ID). Maps each failure to a remediation instruction for the calling agent. |
