Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps AI agents generate clear, concise user stories in a format commonly used in agile software development. It ensures that each story includes a user role, a goal or action, and a benefit or outcome, following standard conventions like "As a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]."

When to use it

  • You're preparing for a sprint planning meeting and need to document requirements from stakeholder feedback.
  • A team member is struggling to articulate user needs in a structured way during product discussions.
  • You're creating documentation for a new feature and want to ensure alignment with user expectations.

Key capabilities

  • Generates user stories using the standard "As a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]" format.
  • Extracts key elements from vague or informal descriptions of requirements.
  • Ensures clarity, conciseness, and alignment with agile development practices.

Example prompts

  • "Write a user story for a feature where users can reset their password."
  • "Convert this feedback into a user story: 'I want to be able to track my orders so I know when they arrive.'"
  • "Generate three user stories based on the following customer needs: easy navigation, quick checkout, and order tracking."

Tips & gotchas

  • Provide as much context as possible for better results—such as who the user is, what the goal is, and why it matters.
  • While this skill follows standard formats, it may not capture nuanced requirements that require deeper domain knowledge or stakeholder interviews.
