Author Plans
In brief: Author Plans creates or updates markdown stories and scenarios in
plans/so releases and SmartTests stay traced to requirements.
When to use
Use when you need requirements (stories/scenarios) authored or updated before or alongside automation—standalone or as a subflow of Run QA / Upkeep. For quality review of existing plans, use Run requirement quality checks.
Prompt
/testchimp author plans
/testchimp author plans for checkout redesign
/testchimp author requirements for password reset
/testchimp author story for <objective>
Synonyms: author requirements, author story, author scenarios.
