Plan the feature as vertical slices, where each slice delivers one observable behavior through the real production path and fits in a single trunk-based PR. Name the actor, trigger, outcome, and path for each slice, and default to the thinnest walking skeleton first.
A vertical slice is the smallest end-to-end behavior a real actor can observe, touching the real entry point, domain logic, persistence, and output. It leaves all tests passing, is independently deployable, and can be described in one sentence.
Use a stack when later slices have hard dependencies or deliberate flow lineage and will be in flight before lower PRs merge, or when one slice needs focused review layers. Otherwise default each slice to an independent trunk-based PR.
Yes, every behavior-changing slice uses RED-GREEN-REFACTOR increments with a failing test written first. Pure refactors and reduction slices instead start from passing preservation evidence, and mutation testing runs once at PR readiness.
Horizontal work may be its own slice only when it names the vertical slice it unlocks, leaves the codebase deployable, has observable verification, and is smaller than doing it inside the vertical slice. It must not introduce speculative abstractions.
