BMAD Story Automator in Practice: Handing 5 Stories to AI for Autonomous Execution

If you're already used to writing code with BMAD, the real time sink isn't "writing" - it's "coordination." An Epic has 5, 10, or 20 Stories. Each one goes through spec creation, implementation, test automation, code review, and retrospective. What's exhausting isn't any single step - it's constantly monitoring the process, switching sessions, handling failures, and deciding what to do next. Story Automator aims to eliminate this "human orchestration" layer. Last night I ran through the full /bmad-story-automator workflow.
