decomposing-into-milestones

To decompose a design doc into GitHub project cards, feed the document into the skill to generate INVEST-compliant card bodies. Each card includes Context, Acceptance Criteria, Out of Scope, Size, and Execution Hints for ready-to-use board setup.

Vertical slicing in project planning breaks end-to-end capabilities into thinnest demonstrable segments. It enforces explicit dependencies to avoid big-bang merges, enabling a single session to deliver work in one PR.

Yes, you can generate INVEST-compliant project cards by feeding an existing design document into the skill. It automatically maps capabilities and outputs cards with a machine-readable marker for quick board initialization.

The best way to avoid big-bang merges is applying vertical slicing to project cards. This prioritizes the thinnest demonstrable card first and maps subsequent slices with explicit dependencies for single-PR delivery.

No specific external dependencies are required. You need a design document capturing end-to-end capabilities; the skill processes it directly to output structured GitHub Project cards with context, scope, and sizing.
