The Problem
Requirements written without engineering validation produce unbuildable stories, missing acceptance criteria, and scope that expands mid-sprint. QA finds gaps after development — the most expensive moment to find them.
What It Does
Transforms a feature idea into a validated, dependency-sequenced backlog:
- INVEST-scored user stories
- Gherkin acceptance criteria
- Flow gap analysis
- Dependency-sequenced backlog ready for sprint
QA Lead agent validates all criteria before development begins.
Try It
activate nablr
Set agent to product_manager. Create requirements for [feature name]
Then validate before coding starts:
Set agent to qa_lead. Validate the requirements for testability
Full sequence:
Set agent to product_manager. Write requirements with AC for user authentication
Set agent to qa_lead. Validate AC testability and flag ambiguities
Set agent to architect. Design the system for user authentication
Expected Output
docs/requirements/STORY-XXX.md — user story with Gherkin AC
- AC validation report — pass/fail per criterion
- Dependency-sequenced backlog
Who This Is For
- Product teams using AI to write tickets no one can build from
- PMs at high-velocity startups
- Delivery leads managing distributed or AI-assisted teams
Provide the feature name and one sentence of context upfront. The more specific the brief, the tighter the AC generated.
