SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Breaks a PRD into a structured, multi-phase implementation plan using tracer-bullet vertical slices to align teams and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vertical-slice planning: splits the PRD into end-to-end phases that traverse architecture, API, data, and tests.
  • Plan generation: outputs a Markdown plan file saved under ./plans/ that documents decisions, phases, and acceptance criteria.
  • Use case: a product team paste a PRD and receive a ready-to-implement phased roadmap suitable for sprint planning.

Quick Start

Paste your PRD and I will generate a multi-phase tracer-bullet plan saved in ./plans/.

What are tracer bullets in product roadmap planning?▼

Tracer bullets in product roadmap planning are end-to-end vertical slices that traverse architecture, API, data, and tests, used to decompose a PRD into practical, actionable phases for team alignment and execution.

Can I generate a sprint plan from a PRD using Markdown?▼

Yes, you can generate a sprint-ready plan from a PRD using Markdown by decomposing the document into actionable phases, decisions, and acceptance criteria saved as a local Markdown file under the plans directory.

Does this PRD planning approach work for teams needing documented acceptance criteria?▼

Yes, this PRD planning approach works for teams needing documented acceptance criteria by producing a local Markdown plan that explicitly defines phase acceptance criteria, decisions, and structured implementation steps for sharing.

What is the best way to create vertical-slice plans for software development?▼

The best way to create vertical-slice plans for software development is decomposing a PRD into end-to-end phases that cover architecture, API, data, and tests, outputting a structured Markdown roadmap for sprint execution.
