From README

Purpose Guide product managers through creating a user story map by asking adaptive questions about the system, users, workflow, and priorities—then generating a two-dimensional map with backbone (activities), user tasks, and release slices. Use this to move from flat backlogs to visual story maps that communicate the big picture, identify missing functionality, and enable meaningful release planning—avoiding "context-free mulch" where stories lose connection to the overall system narrative. This is not a backlog generator—it's a visual communication framework that organizes work by user workflow (horizontal) and priority (vertical). Input Works best with: The system or workflow to map. Also useful: The primary users, workflow steps you already know, and what the map must decide (MVP scope, release plan). Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given.
