What problem does it solve? Turning a plan, spec, or PRD into actionable work items is slow and error-prone: teams often create horizontal, layer-by-layer tickets that block each other and cannot be demoed independently. This Skill breaks a plan into thin vertical slices and publishes them as ready-to-grab issues on the project issue tracker. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tracer-bullet slicing: Splits work into thin vertical slices that cut through all layers (schema, API, UI, tests) so each issue is independently demoable and verifiable. - HITL vs AFK classification: Marks each slice as requiring human interaction (HITL) or fully autonomous (AFK), preferring AFK where possible. - Interactive approval loop: Presents the proposed breakdown with titles, types, dependencies, and covered user stories, then iterates with the user until approved. - Structured issue publishing: Publishes issues in dependency order using a template with parent reference, description, acceptance criteria, and blocked-by links, applying the correct triage label. - Use Case: After finalizing a feature PRD, ask the agent to break it into issues; it proposes five vertical slices, you adjust the granularity, and it publishes labeled, dependency-linked issues ready for AFK agents to implement. ## Quick Start Use the to-issues skill to break this approved plan into vertical-slice issues and publish them to the issue tracker.
