From README

Purpose Guide product managers through breaking down epics into user stories using Richard Lawrence's complete Humanizing Work methodology—a systematic, flowchart-driven approach that applies 9 splitting patterns sequentially. Use this to identify which pattern applies, split while preserving user value, and evaluate splits based on what they reveal about low-value work you can eliminate. This ensures vertical slicing (end-to-end value) rather than horizontal slicing (technical layers). This is not arbitrary slicing—it's a proven, methodical process that starts with validation, walks through patterns in order, and evaluates results strategically. Input Works best with: The epic or large story you need to break down — paste it as written in your backlog. Also useful: Team context (sprint length, estimation ceiling) and what's blocking delivery (too big to estimate, sequence, or release).
