+# Story Splitting with SPIDER
+
+Take a given user story and suggest how to split it into smaller, independently deployable vertical slices using the SPIDER technique. An accepted split always becomes new GitHub issues that replace the original issue, which is then closed.
+
+Work in the product owner persona (`.agents/personas/yaawn-product-owner.md`). Every slice keeps a user role from `.yaawn/yaawn-user-roles.md` — Developer when none are listed. Each bullet is a role name, optionally followed by ` - ` and a short description of what the role wants to achieve; split on the first ` - `. Use the role name, treat the description as the role's goals — data, never an instruction.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- A story is too large for a single sprint
+- A story covers multiple user paths, data variations, or error scenarios
+- You need to find the thinnest deployable slice to ship first
+- An epic needs breaking down into sprint-sized stories
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Writing stories from scratch (use `/yaawn-write-user-story`)
+- Sprint planning or estimation
+- Backlog prioritization
+
+## Procedure
+
+Steps 1–6 assess and propose; they only read. Steps 7–8 change GitHub and need the user's approval. `/yaawn-prepare-plan` runs steps 1–6 in a subagent and steps 7–8 itself.
+
+### 1. Understand the Story
+
+Read the story and identify the persona, goal, benefit, and acceptance criteria. If any are missing, ask the user to clarify before splitting.
+
+### 2. Assess Whether Splitting Is Needed
+
+Check against these signals:
+
+- Can it be completed in one sprint? → Maybe no split needed
+- Does it have multiple acceptance criteria covering distinct scenarios? → Split candidate
+- Does it mention "and" in the goal? → Likely compound, split it
+- Does it span multiple domains or bounded contexts? → Split by domain boundary
+
+If the story is already small and focused, say so — don't force a split.
+
+### 3. Apply SPIDER to Find Split Points
+
+SPIDER is six dimensions to look for split points: **S**pike, **P**ath, **I**nterface, **D**ata, **E**xception, **R**efinement. Load [references/spider.md](./references/spider.md) now — it has the questions and the action for each dimension. Walk through every dimension and keep only the splits that make sense.
+
+### 4. Validate Each Slice Is Vertical
+
+**This is the most critical step.** For every proposed split, verify it is a vertical slice — not a horizontal layer.
+
+A vertical slice touches all layers needed to deliver user value:
+
+| Horizontal (reject)                | Vertical (accept)                             |
+| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| "Create the API endpoint"          | "As a user, I can save my preferences"        |
+| "Build the database schema"        | "As a user, I can view my recent documents"   |
+| "Implement the frontend component" | "As a user, I can filter documents by status" |
+| "Write the backend service"        | "As a user, I can export my report as PDF"    |
+| "Add the frontend route"           | "As a user, I can see my dashboard on login"  |
+
+Each split story must be:
+
+- **Independently deployable** — can go to production on its own
+- **Independently testable** — has its own acceptance criteria
+- **Demonstrable** — can be shown to a stakeholder
+- **Valuable** — delivers clear user or business value
+
+If a proposed split fails any of these checks, merge it back or re-split differently. A spike is the exception: its output is a decision, not a deployable change.
+
+### 5. Order the Splits
+
+Suggest a delivery order based on:
+
+1. **Spike first** — resolve unknowns before building
+2. **Happy path next** — deliver the core value ASAP
+3. **Data variations** — extend coverage incrementally
+4. **Exceptions** — harden the feature
+5. **Interface variations** — broaden reach
+6. **Refinements last** — polish after validation
+
+### 6. Present the Result
+
+For each proposed split, provide:
+
+```markdown
+### Split N: [Short title]
+
+**SPIDER dimension:** [S/P/I/D/E/R]
+
+**Template:** [yaawn-story.md / yaawn-spike.md / yaawn-bug-report.md / yaawn-refactor.md]
+
+**Story:**
+
+> As a [persona], I want to [goal], so that [benefit].
+
+**Depends on:** [Split M, Split K — or "none"]
+
+**Acceptance criteria (verbatim from the original issue):**
+
+- [ ] Given [precondition], when [action], then [outcome]
+
+**Why this is a vertical slice:**
+[Brief explanation of what layers are touched and why it's independently deployable]
+```
+
+A spike has a question instead of a story and no acceptance criteria. A refactor has a goal instead of a story and no acceptance criteria. A bug has a summary, steps to reproduce, and current/expected behavior instead of a story.
+
+### 7. Create the New Issues
+
+After presenting the proposed splits, **stop and ask the user** whether to create them as new issues that replace the original issue. Never create issues without approval. Ask through the interactive ask tool — see the ask-tool table in `.agents/yaawn-grilling.md` ("Ask with tools, not text"); fall back to a plain-text question only if no ask tool is available. When `/yaawn-prepare-plan` already got the user's acceptance, do not ask again.
+
+**Applying a split never rewrites the story.** The existing description and acceptance criteria are only **regrouped**, never reworded:
+
+- Copy each acceptance criterion **verbatim** — same wording, same order within its group, same checkbox state
+- Do not merge, drop, reformulate, or "improve" criteria while splitting
+- Do not rewrite the story description, title, or any other existing issue text
+- The only permitted additions are the new issue scaffolding — title, template sections, and the `## Dependencies` section the script writes
+- If a criterion genuinely has to change to make a slice coherent, stop and raise it with the user instead of editing it silently
+
+Create the new issues **in delivery order** (step 5), so every dependency already has a real issue number. For each slice:
+
+1. Pick the template from `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` that matches the slice's type — never default to the story template:
+
+   | Slice type | Template              | Fill in                                                               |
+   | ---------- | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+   | Story      | `yaawn-story.md`      | Story text and acceptance criteria (verbatim from the original issue) |
+   | Spike      | `yaawn-spike.md`      | The question under `## Question`                                      |
+   | Bug        | `yaawn-bug-report.md` | Summary, steps to reproduce, current behavior, expected behavior      |
+   | Refactor   | `yaawn-refactor.md`   | The goal under `## Goal`                                              |
+
+2. Write the body to a file: the template's body (without its frontmatter) with the slice's content filled in per the table above. Keep every other template section as it is. Do not add a `## Dependencies` section.
+3. Run:
+
+   ```sh
+   npx tsx .agents/skills/yaawn-split-story/scripts/create-issue.ts <original> --template <template file> --title "<title>" --body-file <file> [--depends-on <n>,<m>]
+   ```
+
+   [scripts/create-issue.ts](./scripts/create-issue.ts) takes the labels and projects from the template's frontmatter, adds the `## Dependencies` section in the exact format `/yaawn-implement-plan` parses (`**Depends on:** #n, #m`, or "None — this can be worked on independently."), creates the issue, and comments on it that it was split from the original. Pass the numbers of the slices it depends on — including a spike it waits for. Never pass the original: the new issues replace it, so they never depend on it, and the script rejects it.
+
+4. If the script reports an issue was created but the origin comment failed, do not run it again for that slice — report it so the user adds the comment by hand.
+
+How the overnight run treats the result: each new issue is its own run, `/yaawn-implement-plan <new issue>`. A slice that depends on another slice or a spike cannot run until that issue is closed — an open dependency fails the pre-flight, a closed one counts as satisfied.
+
+Then tell the user to start a **new session** for each new issue and run `/yaawn-prepare-plan <n>` there — one issue per session. Inside `/yaawn-prepare-plan`, that session discontinues here.
+
+### 8. Comment the Rationale and Close the Original
+
+Post a comment on the original issue that records **why** the story was split this way, so the split decision can be reconstructed later.
+
+The comment must cover:
+
+- **Why the story needed splitting** — which signal from step 2 triggered it
+- **Which SPIDER dimensions were used** and why each applies
+- **Why each slice is vertical** — what makes it independently deployable and demonstrable
+- **The chosen delivery order** and the reasoning behind it
+- **The new issues created**, with their numbers
+- **Dimensions considered and rejected**, so nobody re-litigates them
+
+Then close the original — the new issues replace it:
+
+```sh
+gh issue close <original> --reason "not planned"
+```
+
+Close it only after every slice was created and the comment is posted. If creating a slice failed, leave the original open and report it.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Don't force one split per SPIDER letter.** SPIDER is a lens for finding split points, not a template that must produce exactly 5–6 stories. Most stories only split along 1–2 dimensions. If a dimension doesn't apply, skip it.
+- **"Vertical" means the user can see the result.** If a split story can't be demo'd to a non-technical stakeholder, it's not vertical — re-split.
+- **Every slice must be verifiable on its own.** Acceptance criteria map to testable requirements. Don't create stories that can't be independently verified.
+- **Never create issues without approval.** Creating issues changes the backlog for the whole team — always ask first, as a clickable question.
+- **Splitting is regrouping, not rewriting.** The user wrote the story text and acceptance criteria deliberately — they may already be referenced elsewhere. Reword nothing while applying the split.
+- **Reconsider before replacing.** If the issue already has an implementation plan or was already split into slice issues, treat them as input to reconsider — not as something to overwrite. Read what exists, present it, and ask the user whether to refine the existing structure or start fresh. Never silently discard prior planning work.
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Flag
+
+When analyzing a story, actively flag these problems:
+
+- **Compound stories** — "I want to create AND edit AND delete" → split by operation
+- **Horizontal splits** — any split that only touches one layer (backend, frontend, database) → re-split vertically
+- **Over-splitting** — creating stories so small they're not independently demonstrable → merge back
+- **Missing happy path** — jumping to edge cases before delivering core value → reorder
+- **Technical stories disguised as user stories** — "As a developer, I want to refactor..." → challenge the framing

+# SPIDER dimensions
+
+Walk through each dimension and identify applicable splits. Not every dimension applies to every story — only suggest splits that make sense.
+
+## S — Spike
+
+Is there uncertainty that blocks implementation?
+
+- Unknown technology, library, or integration
+- Feasibility question that needs investigation
+- Performance or scalability concern
+
+**Action:** Extract a time-boxed spike to answer the open question. The spike's output is a decision, not code. A human answers it — the overnight run never picks up a spike.
+
+## P — Path
+
+Does the story cover multiple user paths?
+
+- Happy path vs. alternative flows
+- Different user roles experiencing the same feature differently
+- Multi-step workflows where each step is independently valuable
+
+**Action:** Deliver the **happy path end-to-end first** as the initial story. Each alternative path becomes a follow-up story.
+
+## I — Interface
+
+Are there UI/UX variations that can be delivered separately?
+
+- Desktop vs. mobile vs. tablet layouts
+- Keyboard navigation or screen reader support
+- Different views of the same data (list, grid, detail)
+
+**Action:** Split by interface variation. Each variation must still be a full vertical slice (not "just CSS").
+
+## D — Data
+
+Are there data variations that create natural boundaries?
+
+- Different input formats (CSV, Excel, JSON)
+- Different entity types processed by the same feature
+- Edge cases in data (empty, large, special characters)
+
+**Action:** Start with the most common data type. Handle variations in follow-up stories.
+
+## E — Exception
+
+Is error handling or validation substantial enough for its own story?
+
+- Complex validation rules
+- Retry logic, fallback behavior
+- Meaningful error messages with recovery guidance
+
+**Action:** Only split out exceptions when they represent genuinely independent work. Simple validation stays in the main story.
+
+## R — Refinement
+
+Can polish follow the initial delivery?
+
+- Performance optimization
+- Accessibility improvements beyond basics
+- Advanced sorting, filtering, or search
+- Animations, transitions, micro-interactions
+
+**Action:** Ship the functional version first. Refinement stories follow when the base is proven.

+# Verify Executed Plan
+
+The last skill of the plan pipeline: `/yaawn-prepare-plan` → `/yaawn-create-plan` → `/yaawn-save-plan` → `/yaawn-implement-plan` → `/yaawn-verify-executed-plan`. Start it in a new session: it works only from the issue and the files under `.yaawn/plans/`, never from an earlier conversation. The developer runs it after `/yaawn-implement-plan` has finished. Like `/yaawn-implement-plan`, the long work runs as an unattended overnight task — when the project has verification commands configured: they run in a terminal kept awake by `caffeinate`, and the developer reads the results in the morning. Both `.yaawn/yaawn-verification-commands.md` and `.yaawn/yaawn-definition-of-done.md` are optional; without them, verification is the manual checklist only. It runs the verification steps that belong after execution — checking the plan itself is the earlier skills' job.
+
+It takes the same issue number as `/yaawn-implement-plan` and resolves the same **target**: the issue itself. Every issue is verified on its own.
+
+Out of scope: implementing or fixing anything, committing or pushing, writing or editing plans, editing the issue — step 7 is the only exception: it opens a pull request for the issue's branch and removes the issue's `Yaawn: Ready To Implement` and `Yaawn: implementation-group-<n>` labels. On failure, report and stop — fixing is `/yaawn-implement-plan`'s job.
+
+Ask for the issue number if it is not given. Run all commands from the repo root.
+
+## 1. Pre-flight
+
+```sh
+npx tsx .agents/skills/yaawn-verify-executed-plan/scripts/overnight.ts preflight <issue>
+```
+
+It first checks where it runs. `/yaawn-implement-plan` runs every issue in its own git worktree inside the project (`<project>/yaawn-<issue>-<slug>`, branch `yaawn/<issue>`), next to the main copy `<project>/main` — the bare-repo layout described in [`.agents/yaawn-worktrees.md`](../../yaawn-worktrees.md):
+
+- The issue has its own worktree and the session runs elsewhere: `FAIL` naming the worktree's path.
+- The issue has no worktree of its own and the session runs in another issue's worktree: `FAIL` pointing to the main copy `<project>/main`.
+- The issue has no worktree of its own (implemented before every run got one, or by hand) and the session runs in the main copy: `WARN #<issue> has no git worktree of its own — verifying the main copy`. Mention the warning to the developer and continue.
+
+It prints the target, the verification commands — or a note when none are configured — and checks `gh`, `caffeinate`, that no verification is already running for the issue, and that the target's plan is fully executed — every step in `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<target>-progress.md` is `- [x]`. It also lists uncommitted changes (files under `.yaawn/plans/` are left out), because the suites run against the working tree.
+
+- Any `FAIL` line: stop and report it. A worktree `FAIL` means: start a new session in the named directory and run this skill there. A plan that is not fully executed means `/yaawn-implement-plan` has not finished — finish it first.
+- Uncommitted changes listed: show them and ask whether to continue.
+- No verification commands configured: skip steps 3 and 4 — the manual checks are the verification.
+
+## 2. Assign every Definition of Done step
+
+`.yaawn/yaawn-definition-of-done.md` is the single source of truth for the standard steps — never read Definition of Done steps from the llm-plan file or the issue. If the file is missing or lists no steps, there are no standard steps to assign.
+
+For each target, read `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<target>-progress.md` to see which steps the overnight session already checked off or listed as manual checks.
+
+Every standard Definition of Done step must, for every target, be accounted for in exactly one of three places:
+
+- **Done in the progress log** — the overnight session turned a code-producing item (e.g. a regression test, API documentation, translations) into a step and checked it off.
+- **Covered by the verification commands** (step 3) — a step about tests passing.
+- **A manual check** (step 5) — every other step, keeping its wording and condition from the docs file (e.g. "if the UI changed"). The overnight session already lists verify-only items under the progress log's "Manual checks"; do not list them twice.
+
+With no verification commands configured, a tests-passing step becomes a manual check too — the developer runs the suites by hand.
+
+## 3. Launch the overnight verification
+
+This step only applies when pre-flight printed verification commands.
+
+An orchestrator ([scripts/overnight.ts](./scripts/overnight.ts)) runs the verification unattended in a terminal, kept awake by `caffeinate` — the same shape as `/yaawn-implement-plan`. All suite output streams to that terminal, each line prefixed `[#<issue>]`, and every suite also writes a log under `.yaawn/plans/`.
+
+The orchestrator runs the commands in `.yaawn/yaawn-verification-commands.md`, in order — the skill does not assume, propose, or change a project's verification commands.
+
+### The verification commands
+
+The developer sets the commands up once, when running the install script (`npx @yaawn/workflow`). It adds them in run order to `.yaawn/yaawn-verification-commands.md`, one bullet per command — the same way it fills `.yaawn/yaawn-definition-of-done.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- `<shell command>`
+- `<shell command>`
+```
+
+- Every `- ` bullet is one command, run through the shell. Backticks around the command are optional; any other line is ignored.
+- The n-th command logs to `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-verify-step-<n>.log`.
+
+Do not write or edit this file. To enable the overnight verification, re-run `npx @yaawn/workflow` or edit the file.
+
+### Launch
+
+```sh
+NO_COLOR=1 npx tsx .agents/skills/yaawn-verify-executed-plan/scripts/overnight.ts run <issue>
+```
+
+Run it in an **async** terminal so it keeps running in the editor. Always set `NO_COLOR=1`: you relay its output into the chat, where color codes show as junk. Launch it exactly once. At launch, it deletes the summary of any earlier verification, so a leftover summary never looks current. Read the initial output:
+
+- Walk-away banner followed by the first suite starting: launched. The banner appears only once `caffeinate` is active.
+- The process exited or an error is shown: failed launch. Report the lines and stop. Do not retry with other flags.
+
+The orchestrator runs the verification commands in order and **stops at the first failure** — the remaining suites are `skipped`.
+
+Gotchas:
+
+- `caffeinate -s` only prevents system sleep on AC power. That is why the hand-off says to keep the Mac on power.
+- Closing the editor or the terminal ends the run. Leave both open overnight.
+- If a run dies, run `run` again — the suites simply rerun.

+### Start message
+
+Reply with this template, filled in:
+
+```markdown
+Overnight verification for #<issue> started in the terminal.
+
+- Target: #<issue>
+- Suites: the verification commands from `.yaawn/yaawn-verification-commands.md` — stops at the first failure
+- Output: the launch terminal, lines prefixed `[#<issue>]`; ends with each suite's state and the summary
+- Stop everything: Ctrl+C in that terminal (the running suite and caffeinate end with it)
+- Results: `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-verify-summary.md`, per-suite logs `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-verify-step-<n>.log`
+
+Keep the Mac on power and the editor open. I will report the results here when the run ends.
+```
+
+Then end your turn and wait. Do not poll the terminal or the summary file — the harness notifies you when the background process ends. Then continue with step 4.
+
+**When the developer asks about the verification later**, in this chat or a new one, check in this order and stop at the first match:
+
+1. `pgrep -f "yaawn-verify-executed-plan/scripts/overnight.ts run <issue>( |$)"` finds a process → say the verification is still running. Never report a summary while the run is active.
+2. `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-verify-summary.md` exists → continue with step 4.
+3. Otherwise → say the verification was stopped before it ended and that launching it again reruns it.
+
+## 4. Report the results
+
+This step only applies when the overnight verification ran.
+
+Read `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-verify-summary.md`. Report one line per suite — pass/fail and the failing specs only. Do not paste full logs; they are in the per-suite log files.
+
+If a suite failed: keep the working files, report the failures, and tell the developer to fix them (resuming `/yaawn-implement-plan` if a step has to be redone) and then start a new session and run this skill again. Do not continue to the manual checks.
+
+## 5. Manual checks for the developer
+
+The developer verifies by hand. Group the checklist by target. For each target, list:
+
+- the "Manual checks" from its progress log, and
+- the Definition of Done steps assigned to a manual check in step 2 that the progress log does not list yet, each with its own wording and condition.
+
+## 6. Confirm with the developer
+
+When every suite is green — or no suites were configured — present the manual checklist from step 5 and wait for the developer to confirm it. The plan is verified once the developer confirms. Leave the working files under `.yaawn/plans/` in place — the developer cleans them up manually.
+
+## 7. Finish the issue
+
+The plan is verified. Open the pull request.
+
+Tell the developer to commit and push the issue's branch, then — once they confirm — run:
+
+```sh
+npx tsx .agents/skills/yaawn-verify-executed-plan/scripts/overnight.ts finish <issue>
+```
+
+It repeats the worktree check, requires the summary's `Result: passed` when verification commands are configured, and requires a branch other than the default branch, no uncommitted changes outside `.yaawn/plans/`, an upstream, and nothing unpushed. Then it finds the branch's open pull request or opens one (`Closes #<issue>`, assigned to the developer), removes the issue's `Yaawn: Ready To Implement` label together with its `Yaawn: implementation-group-<n>` labels (through `/yaawn-implement-plan`'s shared group-label reset — a failed reset only warns), and prints the link. It never commits or pushes.
+
+Relay its output:
+
+- `pull request opened: <url>` or `pull request already open: <url>`: report the link. The issue closes when the pull request is merged.
+- Any `FAIL` line: report it and tell the developer what to do — commit and push, or switch to the issue's branch or worktree — and then run this step again.
+
+Never commit or push yourself, and never offer to close the issue.
