name: aico-pm-story-acceptance description: | Verify and close stories after frontend/backend tasks are completed. Check ALL related task files, update story acceptance criteria checkboxes.

UNIQUE VALUE: Ensures BOTH frontend AND backend tasks are verified before closing story. Prevents premature story closure.

Use this skill when:

• Frontend or backend notifies "task completed, please verify"
• User asks to "verify story", "accept story", "close story", "mark story done"
• Need to check if a story can be marked as complete
• User asks "is story X done?", "can we close story X?"

CRITICAL: Must check BOTH frontend tasks (docs/reference/frontend/tasks/) AND backend tasks (docs/reference/backend/tasks/) before closing. Output: Update story file checkboxes from - [ ] to - [x]

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

1. Identify the story: Get story ID (e.g., S-001) from notification or user
2. Read the story: Load docs/reference/pm/stories/{story-id}.md
3. Find related tasks:
   • Check docs/reference/frontend/tasks/ for frontend tasks
   • Check docs/reference/backend/tasks/ for backend tasks
4. Verify all tasks completed:
   • All task statuses should be ✅ completed
   • No ⏳ pending or 🔄 in_progress tasks remaining
5. Update story:
   • If ALL tasks completed → Update acceptance criteria - [ ] to - [x]
   • If partial → Report progress, list 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

All Complete

Copy## Story S-001 Acceptance Result

✅ **Ready to Close**

### Task Check
- Frontend: 3/3 completed
- Backend: 2/2 completed

Story acceptance criteria updated.

Partial Complete

Copy## Story S-001 Acceptance Result

⏳ **Waiting for Tasks**

### Task Check
- Frontend: 3/3 completed ✅
- Backend: 1/2 completed ⏳

### Incomplete Tasks
- [ ] Backend Task 2: Implement API endpoint

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]
