# Story Generation Plan — CMS Frontend

## Approach
**Persona-Based + Feature-Based Hybrid**: Stories are organized by persona (who) and grouped under the feature/page they relate to (what). This gives clear ownership per role while keeping related stories together for implementation.

## Planning Checklist
- [x] User Stories Assessment completed
- [x] Story approach chosen: Persona-Based + Feature-Based Hybrid
- [x] Clarification questions generated (see below)
- [x] Clarification questions answered
- [x] Stories generated (stories.md)
- [x] Personas generated (personas.md)
- [x] Acceptance criteria verified (INVEST-compliant)
- [x] Personas mapped to stories

## Generation Steps

### Step 1: Generate personas.md
Create `aidlc-docs/features/cms-frontend/inception/user-stories/personas.md` with:
- [ ] Persona: System Owner
- [ ] Persona: CMS Administrator
- [ ] Persona: CMS User
- [ ] Persona: New Invited User (completing setup)
- [ ] Persona: Anonymous Visitor (unauthenticated, e.g. invite link recipient)

### Step 2: Generate stories.md
Create `aidlc-docs/features/cms-frontend/inception/user-stories/stories.md` with stories for:

**Epic: Authentication & Session**
- [ ] US-01 Login with email and password
- [ ] US-02 Stay logged in across tab switches (session persistence via refresh token)
- [ ] US-03 Logout and end session
- [ ] US-04 Access denied redirect when not authenticated
- [ ] US-05 Auto token refresh on expiry

**Epic: System Initialization**
- [ ] US-06 Initialize system as first Owner (setup flow)
- [ ] US-07 Redirect to setup when system is not initialized

**Epic: Dashboard**
- [ ] US-08 View dashboard after login
- [ ] US-09 View system availability status on dashboard

**Epic: User Management**
- [ ] US-10 View list of users (Owner/Admin)
- [ ] US-11 Invite a new user by email with role selection (Owner/Admin)
- [ ] US-12 Share invite link after invitation is created
- [ ] US-13 Complete account setup via invitation link (New Invited User)
- [ ] US-14 Handle expired/invalid invitation token gracefully

**Epic: Profile**
- [ ] US-15 View own profile information

**Epic: System Settings**
- [ ] US-16 View system availability status in settings (Owner)
- [ ] US-17 Access denied to System Settings for non-Owners

**Epic: Navigation & Layout**
- [ ] US-18 See role-appropriate navigation items in sidebar
- [ ] US-19 Toggle dark/light theme

**Epic: CMS Management (Placeholder)**
- [ ] US-20 View CMS management placeholder page

### Step 3: Validate INVEST criteria
- [ ] Each story is Independent (can be implemented standalone)
- [ ] Each story is Negotiable (not a contract)
- [ ] Each story is Valuable (delivers user benefit)
- [ ] Each story is Estimable (dev can size it)
- [ ] Each story is Small (fits in one sprint iteration)
- [ ] Each story is Testable (acceptance criteria are verifiable)

### Step 4: Map personas to stories
- [ ] Add persona references to each story in stories.md
