Agent Skills: Business Analysis Standards (Deep Analysis + Story Authoring)

Investigate requirements with atomic AC decomposition, actor/permission matrix, platform parity audit, truth table verification, and edge case discovery. Also enforces User Story authoring standards: story structure, scope fences, platform tags, toggle contracts, market isolation, and deferral patterns. Use when writing, reviewing, or improving User Stories, acceptance criteria, or doing impact analysis — especially for stories with multi-condition AC, feature toggles, market variants (VN/MY/SG), or undefined platform behavior. (triggers: **/user_story.md, acceptance criteria, AC, business rules, jira story, toggle, market, write user story, improve user story, review story, BA)

Business Analysis Standards (Deep Analysis + Story Authoring)

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

1. Deep Investigation Protocol

  • Atomic AC Decomposition: Split Acceptance Criteria (AC) into 1-Condition logic units (e.g., "User can X and Y" -> "User can X", "User can Y").
  • Variable Identification: Extract all Feature Toggles, Market Rules (VN/MY/SG), and User Roles.
  • Platform Parity: Verify if logic applies to both Web and Mobile; Flag divergent behavior early.
  • Truth Table Verification: Map complex multi-condition logic to a Logic Truth Table.

2. Dynamic Actor & Permission Mapping

  • Identify all Actors (e.g., Customer, Sales Rep, Admin).
  • Use an Actor/Permission Matrix to map specific constraints per Actor.
  • Permissions Patterns

3. Edge Case & Boundary Analysis

  • State Validation: Verify behavior across all entity (e.g., Active, Suspended) and network states.
  • Boundary Detection: Analyze currency, date, and count limits.
  • Negative Testing: Identify flows for Unauthorized Access, Invalid Input, and Null-safety.

4. Anti-Patterns (Analysis)

  • No Surface Reading: investigate the implications, don't just restate.
  • No Assumption: Flag undefined states (e.g., Offline) as P0 blockers.
  • No Loose Mapping: Ensure AC aligns 100% with Technical Impact notes.

5. User Story Authoring Standards

  • Story Structure: Every story must use As a [Actor], I want [Goal], so that [Value].
  • AC Format: Each AC must be one Given / When / Then block — one condition per block.
  • Platform Tag: Prefix each AC with [WEB], [MOBILE], or [BOTH] — never mix platforms in one AC block.
  • Toggle Contract: Each feature flag AC must name the flag and state: Toggle: <FlagName> = ON/OFF.
  • Market Isolation: Any market-specific AC must be prefixed [Market: VN], [Market: MY], etc.
  • Scope Fence: Include explicit ## In Scope, ## Out of Scope, and ## Deferred sections. Deferred items must link to a Jira ticket — never write "to discuss".
  • Translation AC: Language/locale behavior is a separate AC, not an inline note.

See User Story Template for the full authoring template.

6. Anti-Patterns (Story Authoring)

  • No mixed-platform AC: [MOBILE ONLY] buried inline hides parity gaps — use platform tags.
  • No "to discuss": Replace with a linked Jira ticket in ## Deferred.
  • No implicit toggle states: Always declare both ON and OFF behavior per AC.
  • No bundled AC: "User sees X and Y and Z" → split into three separate AC blocks.

7. Validation Checklist

Run after authoring or reviewing any User Story before marking it ready for development:

  • [ ] Every AC has a [WEB], [MOBILE], or [BOTH] platform tag
  • [ ] Every toggle AC declares both = ON and = OFF states explicitly
  • [ ] No AC block contains more than one And condition (split if it does)
  • [ ] No "to discuss" text anywhere — replaced by a Jira link in ## Deferred
  • [ ] Story has ## In Scope, ## Out of Scope, and ## Deferred sections
  • [ ] Story uses As a / I want / So that header
  • [ ] Market-specific ACs are prefixed [Market: VN], [Market: MY], etc.
  • [ ] Translation / locale behavior is its own AC or deferred with a Jira link
