prd-to-issues

You can convert a PRD into GitHub issues by fetching the PRD content from GitHub and breaking it into independently-grabbable tickets using tracer-bullet vertical slices. The tool organizes end-to-end slices covering cross-layer paths and creates issues in dependency order via GitHub CLI templates.

Tracer-bullet vertical slices are end-to-end implementation paths that cut across all layers of a project to deliver a functional piece of the product. This approach creates independently-grabbable issues that provide cross-layer coverage and maintain proper dependency ordering.

You can create GitHub issues in dependency order by fetching a PRD from GitHub, organizing tracer-bullet vertical slices, and using gh issue create templates to generate tickets sequentially. The tool automatically sequences issues so foundational tasks precede dependent ones while preserving parent PRD context.

Yes, you can automate issue creation from a PRD URL using the GitHub CLI workflow. The tool fetches PRD content directly from the provided GitHub URL, organizes it into tracer-bullet vertical slices, and executes gh issue create templates to generate actionable tickets automatically.

Yes, this PRD breakdown tool supports both HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) and AFK (Away-From-Keyboard) work slices. It structures end-to-end slices and supports iterative refinement through a structured quiz and approval workflow before generating the final GitHub issues.

The best way to break down a PRD into actionable project management tickets is by applying tracer-bullet vertical slices. This method divides the PRD into independently-grabbable, end-to-end issues spanning all layers, ensuring clear dependency ordering and parent PRD context through a structured approval workflow.
