What problem does it solve? Turning a plan, spec, or long conversation into actionable work items is hard: tasks end up as horizontal layer slices that cannot be demoed, dependencies stay implicit, and tickets go stale with file paths and code snippets. This Skill converts any plan into vertical-slice tickets with explicit blocking relationships, published to your configured tracker. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tracer-bullet slicing: Breaks work into narrow but complete vertical slices spanning schema, API, UI, and tests, each demoable on its own and sized for a single context window. - Dependency mapping: Every ticket declares its blocking edges, published as text references in local files or as native blocking links on GitHub, Linear, or similar trackers. - Wide-refactor handling: Recognizes expand-contract refactors that cannot be vertically sliced and sequences them as expand, migrate, and contract tickets. - Use Case: After drafting a feature spec for a new dashboard, ask the agent to break it into tickets; it proposes a numbered breakdown, quizzes you on granularity and dependencies, then publishes approved tickets with a ready-for-agent label. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to break the current plan or a referenced spec file into tracer-bullet tickets and publish them to the configured issue tracker.
