# Job Stories

Create job stories using the 'When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome]' format. Generates stories with detailed acceptance criteria focused on user situations and outcomes.

**Use when:** Writing job stories, expressing user situations and motivations, creating JTBD-style backlog items, or focusing on user context rather than roles.

**Arguments:**
- `$PRODUCT`: The product or system name
- `$FEATURE`: The new feature to break into job stories
- `$DESIGN`: Link to design files (Figma, Miro, etc.)
- `$CONTEXT`: User situations or job scenarios

## Step-by-Step Process

1. **Identify user situations** that trigger the need
2. **Define motivations** underlying the user's behavior
3. **Clarify outcomes** the user wants to achieve
4. **Apply JTBD framework:** Focus on the job, not the role
5. **Create acceptance criteria** that validate the outcome is achieved
6. **Use observable, measurable language**
7. **Link to design mockups** or prototypes… load the full skill through Skill Me
