-**Epic Best Practices:**
-- Title format: User-focused outcome (not implementation detail)
-- Good: "JS Library Icon Reliability"
-- Bad: "Update recommendedLibraries.ts file"
-- Scope: Clearly define what's included/excluded
-- Success criteria: Measurable outcomes that define "done"
-</guidelines>
-
-<example>
-**Epic:** JS Library Icon Reliability
-
-**Goal:** Eliminate external dependencies for JS library icons to ensure consistent, reliable display and improve application performance.
-
-**Scope:** Migrate all 14 recommended JS library icons from third-party CDN URLs (GitHub, jsDelivr) to internal static asset hosting.
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-
-- All library icons load from internal paths
-- Zero external requests for library icons
-- Icons load 50-200ms faster than baseline
-- No broken icons in production

-
-<action>Derive epic slug from epic title (kebab-case, 2-3 words max)</action>

-<action>Analyze tech spec implementation tasks and time estimates</action>
-<action>Group related tasks into logical story boundaries</action>
-
-<guidelines>
-**Story Count Decision Matrix:**
-
-**2 Stories (preferred for most Level 1):**
-
-- Use when: Feature has clear build/verify split
-- Example: Story 1 = Build feature, Story 2 = Test and deploy
-- Typical points: 3-5 points per story
-
-**3 Stories (only if necessary):**
-
-- Use when: Feature has distinct setup, build, verify phases
-- Example: Story 1 = Setup, Story 2 = Core implementation, Story 3 = Integration and testing
-- Typical points: 2-3 points per story
-
-**Never exceed 3 stories for Level 1:**
-
-- If more needed, consider if project should be Level 2
-- Better to have longer stories (5 points) than more stories (5x 1-point stories)
-  </guidelines>
-
-<action>Determine story_count = 2 or 3 based on tech spec complexity</action>
-
-</step>
-
-<step n="4" goal="Generate user stories from tech spec tasks">
-
-<action>For each story (2-3 total), generate separate story file</action>
-<action>Story filename format: "story-{epic_slug}-{n}.md" where n = 1, 2, or 3</action>
-
-<guidelines>
-**Story Generation Guidelines:**
-- Each story = multiple implementation tasks from tech spec
-- Story title format: User-focused deliverable (not implementation steps)
-- Include technical acceptance criteria from tech spec tasks
-- Link back to tech spec sections for implementation details
-
-**CRITICAL: Acceptance Criteria Must Be:**
-
-1. **Numbered** - AC #1, AC #2, AC #3, etc.
-2. **Specific** - No vague statements like "works well" or "is fast"
-3. **Testable** - Can be verified objectively
-4. **Complete** - Covers all success conditions
-5. **Independent** - Each AC tests one thing
-6. **Format**: Use Given/When/Then when applicable
-
-**Good AC Examples:**
-✅ AC #1: Given a valid email address, when user submits the form, then the account is created and user receives a confirmation email within 30 seconds
-✅ AC #2: Given an invalid email format, when user submits, then form displays "Invalid email format" error message
-✅ AC #3: All unit tests in UserService.test.ts pass with 100% coverage
-
-**Bad AC Examples:**
-❌ "User can create account" (too vague)
-❌ "System performs well" (not measurable)
-❌ "Works correctly" (not specific)
-
-**Story Point Estimation:**
-
-- 1 point = < 1 day (2-4 hours)
-- 2 points = 1-2 days
-- 3 points = 2-3 days
-- 5 points = 3-5 days
-
-**Level 1 Typical Totals:**
-
-- Total story points: 5-10 points
-- 2 stories: 3-5 points each
-- 3 stories: 2-3 points each
-- If total > 15 points, consider if this should be Level 2
-
-**Story Structure (MUST match create-story format):**
-
-- Status: Draft
-- Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit]
-- Acceptance Criteria: Numbered list from tech spec
-- Tasks / Subtasks: Checkboxes mapped to tech spec tasks (AC: #n references)
-- Dev Notes: Technical summary, project structure notes, references
-- Dev Agent Record: Empty sections (tech-spec provides context)
-
-**NEW: Comprehensive Context Fields**
-
-Since tech-spec is context-rich, populate ALL template fields:
-
-- dependencies: Extract from tech-spec "Development Context → Dependencies" and "Integration Points"
-- existing_code_references: Extract from "Development Context → Relevant Existing Code" and "Developer Resources → Key Code Locations"
