Story Implementation Expansion Pack Plan

Overview

  • Pack Name: story-implementation
  • Description: End-to-end story implementation workflow from epic context to PR-ready delivery
  • Target Domain: Agile development teams using epic-driven methodology
  • Initial Scope: Phase 1 - Story Preparation (Epic → Story Ready for Development)

Problem Statement

Current workflow (.claude/commands/implement-story.md) is overly complex and not functioning effectively. Need a progressive, testable approach that can be built incrementally.

Phase 1 Implementation (Current Priority)

Transform epic context and story number into a complete, validated story ready for development.

Components to Create

Agents

  • story-implementation-orchestrator (REQUIRED: Custom BMAD orchestrator for Phase 1)

Tasks

  • validate-epic-for-story (referenced by: po via BatchTask)
  • create-story-from-epic (referenced by: sm via BatchTask)
  • validate-story-quality (referenced by: po via BatchTask)
  • setup-development-environment (referenced by: infra-devops-platform via BatchTask)

Templates

  • Uses existing story-tmpl.md from bmad-core (no new templates needed for Phase 1)

Checklists

  • Uses existing story-draft-checklist.md from bmad-core (no new checklists needed for Phase 1)

Dependencies on Core BMAD Components

  • po (Product Owner agent)
  • sm (Scrum Master agent)
  • infra-devops-platform (DevOps Infrastructure agent)
  • story-tmpl.md (Story template)
  • story-draft-checklist.md (Story draft checklist)

Data Files Required from User

  • Epic files in docs/epic{number}.md format
  • Existing bmad-core configuration (no additional data files needed for Phase 1)

Future Phases (Not Implemented Yet)

Phase 2: Implementation (TDD Development)

  • Backend/Frontend development coordination
  • Checkpoint-based progress tracking
  • Quality gates integration

Phase 3: Quality Review

  • Architecture review
  • Business validation
  • Process compliance

Phase 4: PR Creation & Delivery

  • Final validation
  • PR generation
  • Documentation updates

Success Criteria for Phase 1

  • Orchestrator can execute epic → story preparation workflow
  • All 4 tasks work independently and in sequence
  • Story status progresses from non-existent → "Approved for Development"
  • Environment is validated and ready for implementation
  • Can be executed via *story-implementation-orchestrator command

Approval

User approval received: [ ] Yes

Notes

  • Starting with Phase 1 only to enable iterative development
  • Reusing existing tasks created during workflow development
  • Progressive expansion approach allows testing and refinement
  • Each phase will be added incrementally based on learnings from previous phases
