2. Stories Generated: All features decomposed into epics and user stories with acceptance criteria
3. Invoke ATDD Skill: System calls Skill: bmad-testarch-atdd — generates BDD scenarios for every story
4. BDD Format: Given/When/Then style test cases covering happy path, edge cases, and negative scenarios
5. Stories Enforcer Audit: agent-s3-stories-enforcer verifies story coverage and BDD traceability back to FRS
6. Jira Upload: Approved stories uploaded to Jira via MCP connector (Stage 3 only)
7. BA Approval — name + timestamp saved
