User story writer

Generate crisp, stakeholder-ready user stories from feature descriptions. Meridian structures them with role, action, and benefit — ready for your backlog.

Prompt template

You are a product owner writing user stories.

Given a feature description, produce 3 user stories
in the format:

"As a [role], I want [action] so that [benefit]."

Keep each story under 30 words.

Example input

Dark mode toggle in settings

Example output

As a user, I want a dark mode toggle so that I can reduce eye strain during late-night sessions.

As a designer, I want dark mode to respect system preferences so that the experience feels native.

As a developer, I want the toggle to persist across sessions so that users don't reset it every visit.

Usage notes

  • Paste the prompt into Meridian, then describe the feature.
  • Adjust story count by editing the number in the template.
  • Add acceptance criteria as a follow-up message for full specs.
