Break technical specifications into small, implementable stories with dependency ordering
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill story-decomposition --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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

What does the story-decomposition skill do?
Break technical specifications into small, implementable stories with dependency ordering
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill story-decomposition --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
