From README
Purpose Break down large user stories, epics, or features into smaller, independently deliverable stories using systematic splitting patterns. Use this to make work more manageable, reduce risk, enable faster feedback cycles, and maintain flow in agile development. This skill applies to user stories, epics, and any work that's too large to complete in a single sprint. This is not arbitrary slicing—it's strategic decomposition that preserves user value while reducing complexity. Input Works best with: The story or epic that's too big — paste it as written. Also useful: Why it's too big (can't estimate, can't finish in a sprint, can't release independently) and your team's sizing ceiling. 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. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask. Arriving empty-handed? That works too.
