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/.
