SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using tracer-bullet vertical slices, turning long planning documents into concrete work items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Breaks PRD into end-to-end vertical slices that map to implementation work
  • Generates a structured backlog of issues suitable for GitHub or Gitea
  • Supports planning modes (HITL vs AFK) and dependency ordering to drive incremental delivery

Quick Start

Provide a PRD and let the tool generate the initial set of tracer-bullet issues to begin the project backlog.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a PRD into GitHub issues using vertical slices?▼

To break a PRD into GitHub issues, this tool analyzes your document and drafts end-to-end vertical slices, generating a dependency-ordered list of independently-grabbable issues ready for creation.

What are tracer bullets in product management issue creation?▼

Tracer bullets in issue creation are end-to-end vertical slices of a PRD that map directly to implementation work, turning long planning documents into concrete, independently-grabbable work items.

Does this PRD to issues tool work with Gitea as well as GitHub?▼

Yes, PRD to issue generation works with both GitHub and Gitea. The workflow detects your project's remotes to decide the platform and outputs issues via gh or mcp__gitea__issue_write.

Can I automate PRD breakdown without human interaction?▼

Yes, you can automate PRD breakdown without human interaction using the AFK planning mode, which drafts end-to-end vertical slices and generates a dependency-ordered issue list autonomously.

How does dependency ordering work for generated backlog issues?▼

Dependency ordering structures your generated backlog by sequencing end-to-end vertical slices, ensuring that foundational tracer-bullet issues are resolved before dependent work items are grabbed.
