SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turn a PRD into a structured, end-to-end implementation plan by dividing it into tracer-bullet vertical slices that map to architecture, APIs, UI, and testing, and save the result as a Markdown file in ./plans/.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vertical-slice planning: Converts a PRD into multiple complete slices that cover all layers from data models to UI interactions.
  • Durable decisions: Captures route paths, data models, and milestones to keep planning stable across phases.
  • Use Case: When a product team has a PRD and wants a concrete, phased plan with milestones, this skill generates a plan scaffold under ./plans/.

Quick Start

Paste your PRD text and I will generate a phased tracer-bullet implementation plan saved as a Markdown file in ./plans/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a PRD into an actionable implementation plan with milestones?▼

To turn a PRD into an actionable plan, you convert it into multi-phase tracer-bullet vertical slices mapping architecture, APIs, UI, and testing. This produces a structured plan scaffold with milestones saved as a Markdown file under ./plans/.

What are tracer-bullet vertical slices in software planning?▼

Tracer-bullet vertical slices are complete end-to-end implementation segments spanning all layers from data models to UI interactions. They decompose a PRD into durable phases covering architecture, API, and testing milestones.

How do I structure a phased roadmap from a product requirements document?▼

Structure a phased roadmap from a product requirements document by decomposing it into vertical slices with phase headers. Capture durable decisions like route paths and data models to generate a plan file with user story references and acceptance criteria.

Does this PRD planning approach capture architecture and data model decisions?▼

Yes, this PRD planning approach captures durable decisions including route paths, data models, and milestones. This ensures architecture and API planning remain stable across different vertical-slice implementation phases.

Can I generate user stories and acceptance criteria from a PRD?▼

Yes, you can generate user story references and acceptance criteria from a PRD. The planning workflow converts product requirements into a Markdown plan file structure that explicitly includes these references alongside phase headers.
