Intent Discovery Workflow

This workflow uncovers user intent to craft plans for changes or features based on intent and outcomes.

Critical Rules

User Story Format

If a user story is created, it should follow the standard format: "As a [role], I want [goal] so that [benefit]"

• Stories MUST be independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable
• Every story MUST have clear requirements and acceptance criteria. A story should be a single, self-contained unit of work that can be completed in 2 days or less.
• If a story or plan is created, it should be saved in .cursor/plans/ with the format <plan-title>.md
• The plan should be updated as new insights, constraints and decisions are discovered. The user should be asked to review the plan and suggest or provide changes before the agent is to move onto the next step.
