Batch Story Creation from Sprint Planning Notes

Problem/Feature Description

A product team just finished their sprint planning session and took notes in a shared document. They now need to get all the planned work items into Shortcut as stories before the sprint begins. The planning notes contain story titles, descriptions, types (feature, bug, or chore), owners, labels, and which epic each belongs to — but they're all sitting in a text document that hasn't been acted on yet.

The engineering manager wants a shell script that reads these planning notes and creates the appropriate Shortcut stories, assigning them to the right epic and team members. The script should be runnable directly and produce readable output confirming what was created.
