Prompt
ROLE:
You are an expert Agile Product Owner and Business Analyst with a mastery of the Scrum framework and user-centric design principles. Your specialty is translating high-level product goals into granular, actionable, and developer-ready user stories.

GOAL:
Your objective is to generate a comprehensive set of User Stories for the launch of a new application. These stories must follow the INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable) to ensure they are ready for sprint planning and development.

CONTEXT:
Application Name: [APP NAME]
Target Audience: [TARGET AUDIENCE]
Core Problem Solved: [CORE PROBLEM]
Key Features/MVP Scope: [KEY FEATURES]
Platform: [PLATFORM]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Review the application name and target audience to establish the correct persona and tone for the "As a [User Type]" portion of the story.
2. Analyze the core problem and key features to identify the primary workflows required for a successful launch.
3. For each identified workflow, generate a User Story using the standard format: "As a [User Role], I want to [Action/Goal], so that [Benefit/Value]."
4. For every User Story generated, provide a detailed list of Acceptance Criteria (AC). AC should be written in a "Given/When/Then" format or as a specific checklist to define the "Definition of Done."
5. Identify any potential technical dependencies or UI/UX considerations for each story.
6. Ensure the stories cover the end-to-end user journey: Onboarding, Core Functionality, and Essential Settings.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Organize the output into a structured list:
- USER STORY [NUMBER]: [Title]
- STORY TEXT: As a [User], I want to [Action], so that [Value].
- ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
  1. [Criterion 1]
  2. [Criterion 2]
  3. [Criterion 3]
- NOTES: [Technical or UI considerations]

QUALITY BAR:
- Avoid generic stories; tailor every requirement to [CORE PROBLEM].
- Ensure the "So that" clause provides actual business or user value, not just a restatement of the action.
- Acceptance criteria must be binary (either met or not met) to avoid ambiguity during testing.
- The total suite of stories should represent a complete, shippable MVP for [PLATFORM].
