What problem does it solve?
It converts a single PRD GitHub issue into a set of vertical-slice sub-issues with clear dependencies, labels, and approval gates so teams can implement incrementally without losing traceability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Vertical-slice decomposition: Splits a PRD issue into independently implementable slices (not horizontal layers) that map back to PRD requirements.
- HITL/AFK governance: Classifies sub-issues using labels only (HITL for unanswered decisions, AFK for fully defined work).
- Native GitHub linking: Links each sub-issue to the PRD using the addSubIssue GraphQL mutation and uses gh CLI for GitHub operations.
- Clarification-first guardrails: Fetches the issue body and comments, resolves ambiguities, and grills the user for decisions before creating issues.
Quick Start
Use mp-to-issues with the PRD issue URL or number to produce an approved, labeled vertical-slice breakdown with correct blocking relationships before any sub-issues are created.
