User Story Prompts

Turn features and epics into INVEST-friendly user stories with AI.

These prompts help product managers and teams generate well-formed user stories, break epics into shippable slices, and write acceptance criteria. Each template works with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and produces stories you can drop into your backlog. Use the INVEST review prompt to check stories that already exist.
