1. Purpose

This document captures user stories — concrete needs in the As a … I want … so that … form — grouped by epic. They translate personas and the PRD into work items, and map to functional requirements and acceptance criteria.

2. Format

US-<area>-<n>: As a <persona>, I want <capability>, so that <outcome>.
   → FRs: <ids>   → Acceptance: <ids>

3. Agents

US-AGT-1: As an AI Engineer, I want to define an agent declaratively, so that I can version and review it. → FR-AGT-1 → AC-AGT-1
US-AGT-2: As an App Developer, I want to run an agent and stream its steps, so that I can see tool calls and reasoning. → FR-AGT-2,3 → AC-AGT-2
US-AGT-3: As an AI Engineer, I want a session across turns, so that context persists in a conversation. → FR-AGT-4 → AC-AGT-3

(See Agents API, Agent Studio.)

4. Workflows

US-WF-1: As an AI Engineer, I want to author workflows visually or in DSL, so that I can orchestrate multi-step processes. → FR-WF-1 → AC-WF-1
US-WF-2: As an Ops Engineer, I want durable executions that survive restarts, so that long-running work is reliable. → FR-WF-2 → AC-WF-2
US-WF-3: As a Manager, I want human-approval steps, so that high-risk actions need sign-off. → FR-WF-3 → AC-WF-3
US-WF-4: As an AI Engineer, I want compensation on failure, so that partial work rolls back. → FR-WF-4 → AC-WF-4

(See Workflow Engine, Workflow Builder.)

5. Memory

US-MEM-1: As an AI Engineer, I want to store knowledge and retrieve it semantically, so that agents answer from my data. → FR-MEM-1,2 → AC-MEM-1
US-MEM-2: As a Security user, I want memory scoped and access-controlled, so that data stays isolated. → FR-MEM-3 → AC-MEM-2

(See Memory Engine.)

6. Tools & Plugins

US-TOOL-1: As an AI Engineer, I want agents to call tools safely, so that they act on the world without risk. → FR-TOOL-1 → AC-TOOL-1
US-PLG-1: As a Plugin Developer, I want to package and publish a capability, so that others can install it. → FR-PLG-1,2 → AC-PLG-1
US-PLG-2: As a Security user, I want to approve plugin permissions, so that extensions get least privilege. → FR-PLG-3 → AC-PLG-2

(See Tool Runtime, Plugin SDK.)

7. LLM Gateway

US-LLM-1: As an App Developer, I want to switch providers without code change, so that I avoid lock-in. → FR-LLM-1 → AC-LLM-1
US-LLM-2: As an Ops Engineer, I want failover and cost tracking, so that inference is resilient and budgeted. → FR-LLM-2,3 → AC-LLM-2

(See LLM Gateway.)

8. Platform, Security & Ops

US-SEC-1: As a Security user, I want RBAC + audit, so that access is governed and traceable. → FR-SEC-1,2 → AC-SEC-1
US-OPS-1: As an Ops Engineer, I want metrics, traces, and alerts, so that I can operate to SLOs. → FR-OBS-1 → AC-OBS-1
US-ADM-1: As an Admin, I want projects, quotas, and users, so that teams self-serve under limits. → FR-ADM-1 → AC-ADM-1

(See Security, Observability, Projects.)

9. Developer Experience

US-DX-1: As an App Developer, I want a CLI with local mode, so that I can build and test offline. → FR-DX-1 → AC-DX-1
US-DX-2: As a Plugin Developer, I want SDK scaffolding and tests, so that I build plugins quickly. → FR-DX-2 → AC-PLG-1

(See CLI, SDK.)

10. Traceability

Each story links to functional requirements and acceptance criteria; per the PRD §23, implementation artifacts trace back through these.

12. Revision History

Version	Date	Description
1.0.1	2026-07-07	Renumbered from PRD-003 to PRD-008 — that ID collided with `prd-ga-hardening.md`, which was independently assigned PRD-003 later without checking the sequence. Found during a project-wide doc review; no content changed
1.0.0	2026-06-27	Initial User Stories
