The AI Configuration panel lets you control what Monty generates and how detailed the output is. It appears in the Input panel below the mode-specific upload area, and applies to every generation regardless of input mode.
| Setting | Description | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Focus Area | Checkboxes for what to generate | User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, Test Cases, Technical Tasks |
| Framework | Front-end / back-end technology context | React, Angular, Backend API, Mobile |
| Test Framework | Target framework for generated test cases | Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, JUnit |
| Complexity | How detailed the output should be | Basic, Standard, Detailed |
Use the checkboxes to tell Monty which artefacts to produce. You can select any combination:
| Level | What it means | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Short stories, minimal AC, fewer test cases | Early ideation, simple features, quick estimates |
| Standard | Balanced stories with full AC and test scenarios | Day-to-day sprint planning (default) |
| Detailed | Comprehensive stories, edge cases, full test suite | Complex features, compliance-heavy work, detailed review |
The Guide Monty free-text field adds natural-language instructions on top of the structured configuration. Use it to:
Guide Monty instructions are appended to the prompt and can override or supplement the structured settings above.
No test cases were generated even though I selected Test Cases
Check that the Test Framework is set. Monty needs a target framework to generate formatted test cases. Select Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or JUnit and regenerate.
The generated output is too long / too short
Adjust the Complexity setting. Use Basic for shorter output and Detailed for more comprehensive stories. You can also add a length hint in Guide Monty (e.g. "Limit to 5 stories").
