pr-slicer

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers reduce review latency and rework by breaking large, high-risk pull requests into small, independent, verifiable slices that are easier to review, land, and rollback when necessary.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prescriptive Budgets: Targets for changed lines, files, and commits per slice to limit review scope and cognitive load.
• Slicing Order & Strategy: Extract prerequisites first, land mechanical refactors next, apply behavior changes after prerequisites, and finish with UI/docs/polish to minimize merge conflicts.
• Slice Packet Template: Produces per-slice Goal, Owned files, Out of scope, Risk level, Verification commands with expected outcomes, and a Rollback plan for clear handoffs.
• Verification Discipline: Emphasizes narrow checks for touched behavior, project gate checks before handoff, and recording exact commands and outcomes as evidence.
• Use Case: When a contributor asks to "split this PR" or "create stacked PRs," the skill outlines an ordered set of low-risk, independently verifiable changes ready for review and landing.

Quick Start

Split this PR into a sequence of small, independent slices with goals, owned files, verification commands, risk levels, and rollback plans.
