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 (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): Search task directories
      • Search docs/reference/frontend/tasks/ for files related to the story
      • Search docs/reference/backend/tasks/ for files related to the story
  4. Verify all tasks completed:
    • Read each task file's > **Status**: field
    • 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

Verification Checklist

## Story: S-XXX

### Frontend Tasks

- [x] docs/reference/frontend/tasks/s-xxx.md - All completed

### Backend 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

All Complete

## Story S-001 Acceptance Result

✅ **Ready to Close**

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

Story acceptance criteria updated.

Partial Complete

## 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]
