SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decompose plans, PRDs, or specs into independently-grabbable vertical-slice issues (markdown file by default, GitHub issues via flag). Trigger when the user wants implementation tickets, work decomposition, or to convert an implementation plan into parallelizable work. Takes a plan file and emits atomic vertical slices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Break plans into tracer-bullet vertical slices that cross schema, API, UI, and tests and are independently demoable.
  • Emit slices to a Markdown file by default or create GitHub issues via a flag, in dependency order to resolve blockers.

Quick Start

Provide a plan file path and request emission of vertical slices as issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a PRD into trackable implementation issues?▼

To break a PRD into trackable implementation issues, this Skill decomposes product specifications into independently-grabbable vertical-slice tickets. It emits a markdown file of slices by default, or creates GitHub issues directly when triggered with a flag.

What are vertical-slice issues in project planning?▼

Vertical-slice issues are work items that cross schema, API, UI, and tests end-to-end. This approach ensures each slice is independently demoable and parallelizable, resolving dependencies and blockers through ordered task creation.

Can I create GitHub issues automatically from a plan file?▼

Yes, you can create GitHub issues automatically from a plan file by using a specific flag. The Skill parses the implementation plan and generates issues in dependency order, ensuring idempotent updates and blocker references.

Does issue tracking work with markdown files instead of GitHub?▼

Yes, issue tracking works with markdown files by default. The Skill outputs decomposed vertical slices into a markdown file, allowing teams to review work breakdown locally before optionally exporting to GitHub issues.

What is the best way to parallelize work from a product specification?▼

The best way to parallelize work from a product specification is decomposing it into tracer-bullet vertical slices. This method creates independently grabbable issues across schema, API, UI, and tests, ordered by dependencies to clear blockers.
