Expert at detecting stories that are too big and applying splitting heuristics. Use when user describes work that seems large, mentions multiple features in one story, or needs help breaking down requirements. Detects linguistic red flags (and, or, manage, handle) and suggests concrete splitting strategies. Use when: - Story has obvious red flags: "and", "or", "manage", "handle", "including" - User describes multiple features bundled together - Story feels vague or too large - User asks "how to split this story" Do NOT use when: - Story is already small and focused (< 1 day work) - Feature needs layered analysis without obvious split points (use hamburger-method instead) - User asks HOW to implement (use micro-steps-coach instead)
