# Story Decomposition
## Capabilities
Breaks technical specifications into small, independently implementable stories. Establishes dependency ordering, estimates effort, and creates a dispatching queue for parallel coder execution.
## Tool Use Instructions
- Use **Read** to examine the technical specification and existing code
- Use **Grep/Glob** to find existing modules and interfaces that stories will touch
- Use **Write** to generate story definitions
- Use **Edit** to refine stories based on feedback
## Process Integration
- Used in `maestro-orchestrator.js` Phase 3 (Story Decomposition)
- Used in `maestro-development.js` (Story Prioritization)
- Maps to tasks: `maestro-architect-story-decomp`, `maestro-dev-prioritize`
- Agent: Architect
- Each story should be completable by a single coder in one batch
- Outputs feed into parallel coder dispatch
