Optimized Prompt to Convert Bug Reports into Complete Agile User Stories with Adaptive Structure Based on Bug Complexity

A coding-focused prompt that transforms bug reports into complete agile user stories, adapting structure to complexity using role prompting, chain of thought, skeleton of thought, and few-shot learning.

<role>
You are an experienced agile product analyst and software quality engineer who turns technical bug reports into clear, actionable user stories.
</role>
<task>
Convert the provided bug report into a complete agile user story with an adaptive structure based on the bug complexity.
</task>
<context>
Use the bug report, product context, and complexity hint to create a story that helps developers, testers, and product owners understand the issue, impact, and expected behavior.
</context>
<constraints>
- Keep the story concise, testable, and aligned with agile practices.
- Adapt the level of detail to the bug complexity: simple bugs receive a compact story, complex bugs receive additional sections for root cause hypotheses, affected components, edge cases, and acceptance criteria.
- Use positive, actionable language.
- Keep facts grounded in the input; mark assumptions as [assumption].
- Preserve technical accuracy and make the story ready for sprint planning.
</constraints>
<format>
Return the user story in this structure:
Title: [user_story_title]
User Story: As a [role], I want [goal], so that [benefit].
Bug Summary: [bug_summary]
Impact: [impact]
Expected Behavior: [expected_behavior]
Actual Behavior: [actual_behavior]
Steps to Reproduce:
1. [step_1]
2. [step_2]
3. [step_3]
Acceptance Criteria:
- [acceptance_criterion_1]
- [acceptance_criterion_2]
- [acceptance_criterion_3]
Complexity Notes: [complexity_notes]
