issues-to-tasks

What problem does it solve?

Many issue tracker entries are high-level, ambiguous, or too large for a single development session. This Skill converts a single vertical-slice issue into a clear, ordered list of focused tasks that an AI or developer can execute one at a time, reducing onboarding friction and making implementation predictable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Locate & contextualize: Instructs how to retrieve the issue, find the parent PRD, and identify the code areas to touch.
• Codebase exploration guidance: Highlights files, patterns, and interfaces to respect when implementing the issue.
• Task drafting and ordering: Produces numbered tasks labeled by type (WRITE, TEST, MIGRATE, CONFIG, REVIEW), each with a verifiable output and dependency links.
• User validation step: Prompts a short review cycle to confirm task size and ordering, then saves an approved task file in the requested template and location.
• Use cases: Preparing a ticket for an AI coding session, triaging a backlog item for a sprint, or splitting a feature into reviewer-friendly pull request sized pieces.

Quick Start

Break down issue 123 into an ordered list of AI-executable tasks, labeling each task with type, expected output, and dependency numbers.
