My go to prompt is usually something like
“Rewrite for a non-technical audience. Optimize brevity, clarity and ease of reading. Don’t use lists”.

I just use copilot with Claude 3.7 thinking, it seems to give the best results

At least the conversations become better. Instead of “can we close it“ we ask “what did we learn”

All of this still happens in a TDD loop (obviously)

I’ve have not been able to get any value out of agent yet - but with the Edit feature of copilot where you choose which files to focus on ) including your own plan.md) I’ve seen great results. The learn to drive metaphor from the xp book is appropriate

It really bothers me that Jira really wants you to put as much information as possible in to the stories. For all its flexibility it’s still no match for a humble sticky note
