Generate comprehensive test scenarios from user stories or feature specs — happy paths, edge cases, and error handling	<user stories, feature spec, or description>

/test-scenarios -- Test Scenario Generator

Turn user stories or feature descriptions into comprehensive test scenarios that QA can execute immediately. Covers happy paths, edge cases, error handling, and cross-browser/device considerations.

Invocation

/test-scenarios [paste user stories or acceptance criteria]
/test-scenarios [upload a PRD or feature spec]
/test-scenarios User can reset their password via email link

Workflow

Step 1: Accept Input

Accept: user stories, acceptance criteria, PRD sections, feature descriptions, or any specification of expected behavior.

Step 2: Generate Test Scenarios

Apply the test-scenarios skill:

For each user story or requirement, generate:

Happy Path Scenarios: The expected user flow works correctly Edge Cases: Boundary conditions, unusual inputs, concurrent operations Error Scenarios: What happens when things go wrong Security Scenarios: If applicable (auth, permissions, data access) Performance Scenarios: If applicable (load, timeout, large data)

Step 3: Structure Output

## Test Scenarios: [Feature]

**Source**: [user stories / PRD / description]
**Total scenarios**: [count]
**Coverage**: [happy path / edge cases / errors / security / performance]

### Scenario 1: [Title]
**Tests**: [which story or requirement]
**Preconditions**: [setup needed]
**User role**: [who is performing this]

| Step | Action | Expected Result |
|------|--------|----------------|
| 1 | [user action] | [expected system response] |
| 2 | [user action] | [expected system response] |

**Postconditions**: [state after completion]
**Priority**: [Critical / High / Medium / Low]

---
[Repeat for each scenario]

### Coverage Matrix
| Requirement | Happy Path | Edge Cases | Error Handling | Notes |
|------------|-----------|-----------|---------------|-------|

### Test Data Requirements
[What test data is needed to execute these scenarios]

Save as markdown.

Step 4: Offer Next Steps

• "Want me to generate the test data for these scenarios?"
• "Should I add more edge cases for any specific scenario?"
• "Want me to create the user stories that these scenarios test?"

Notes

• Happy paths first, then layer in edge cases — ensure basic flows work before testing boundaries
• Every acceptance criterion from the original story should map to at least one test scenario
• Include both positive tests (it works) and negative tests (it fails gracefully)
• For APIs, include scenarios for rate limiting, timeout, malformed requests, and auth failures
• Flag scenarios that require specific test environments or third-party service mocking
