Story Acceptance

Language Configuration

Before generating any content, check aico.json in project root for language field to determine the output language. If not set, default to English.

Process

Identify the story: Get story ID (e.g., S-001) from notification or user
Read the story: Load docs/reference/pm/stories/{story-id}.md
Find related tasks (use Strategy 1 if available, fallback to Strategy 2):
- Strategy 1 (Preferred): Read "Related Tasks" section from story file
  - Story file should contain task list created by task-breakdown
  - Directly read the listed task files
- Strategy 2 (Fallback): Pattern matching in task directories
  - Extract story name from story filename (e.g., "user-profile" from "user-profile.md")
  - Search docs/reference/frontend/tasks/ for story-{story-name}-*.md
  - Search docs/reference/backend/tasks/ for story-{story-name}-*.md
Verify all tasks completed:
- Read each task file's > **Status**: field
- All task statuses should be completed
- No pending or in_progress tasks remaining
Update story:
- If ALL tasks completed → Update acceptance criteria - [ ] to - [x]
- If partial → Report progress, list incomplete tasks

Decision Logic

Has frontend tasks? ──Yes──> Check frontend/tasks/{story}.md
        │                            │
        No                     All completed?
        │                       │        │
        ▼                      Yes       No
Has backend tasks? ──Yes──> Check backend/tasks/{story}.md
        │                            │
        No                     All completed?
        │                       │        │
        ▼                      Yes       No
All checks passed? ─────────────┘        │
        │                                │
       Yes                              No
        │                                │

Update story checkboxes          Report incomplete tasks

Key Rules

MUST check BOTH frontend and backend tasks before closing
ONLY update story when ALL related tasks are completed
ALWAYS report which tasks are still pending if not ready to close
Use exact checkbox format: - [x] for completed, - [ ] for pending

Output Examples

Common Mistakes

❌ Close story with pending tasks → ✅ Check ALL related tasks first
❌ Only check frontend OR backend → ✅ Check BOTH if story has both
❌ Forget to update checkboxes → ✅ Always update - [ ] to - [x]
