## What it does

This prompt turns any feature concept or topic into a structured Agile story. It writes a user statement in the classic "As a user..." format alongside Given-When-Then acceptance criteria.

The response comes strictly as a JSON object containing `Topic`, `Story`, and `Criteria` keys. That makes it easy to pipe output directly into downstream scripts or task tracking tools.

Because the schema enforces a single string for criteria, complex user flows will need manual expansion or secondary prompting.
