AI Prompt Pack: User Stories

AI Prompt Pack: User Stories

Create INVEST-ready stories, fast. 

This prompt pack captures Mike Cohn’s process for writing and refining user stories and makes it reusable with AI.

  • Clarify who your users are and what actually matters to them
  • Prepare better interviews with real users
  • Generate clean user and job stories that meet INVEST
  • Add acceptance criteria only when it adds value
  • Identify weak or over-engineered stories before they reach the backlog

What You Get

A practical set of AI prompts you can reuse again and again to support:

  • Personas – Turn what you know into a usable user proxy
  • Interview preparation – Ask better questions of real users
  • User & job stories – Generate clean, consistent first drafts
  • Acceptance criteria – Add clarity without over-specifying
  • Story evaluation – Check stories against INVEST before planning

Each prompt is designed to produce output that’s easy to review, refine, and move straight into your backlog tool.

This prompt pack works best if you:

  • Already talk to users (or plan to)
  • Want faster, higher-quality first drafts
  • Are tired of long debates about story quality
  • Want more consistency across stories and teams

It won’t replace product discovery, but it will help you show up better prepared for the conversations that matter.
