How it works

1

Frame each screen as a user story

Every screen becomes "As a [role], I want to [goal]" — the standard story format that keeps design tied to actual user intent, not just a screen name.

2

Turn behaviors into acceptance criteria

Each listed behavior becomes one testable acceptance criterion, so "done" has a concrete, checkable definition.

3

Flag stories with too few criteria

Stories with fewer than two behaviors are flagged as likely underspecified — a real screen almost always has more than one thing to verify.

Frequently asked questions

Why frame this as a story instead of just a task list?

A story format keeps the user's goal visible, so developers understand why a behavior matters, not just what to build — this reduces literal-but-wrong implementations.

How many acceptance criteria should a screen have?

There is no fixed number, but fewer than two is usually a sign the screen's behaviors were not fully thought through — expand the behavior list if so.

Can I use this output directly in Jira or GitHub Issues?

Yes — copy the generated story and criteria in; if you want it already formatted as a structured ticket, use Screen2Ticket instead.

Does this cover non-functional requirements like performance?

No — this generates functional acceptance criteria from listed behaviors; add non-functional requirements separately if relevant.
