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.jsPhase 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

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
