prd-to-issues

Tracer-bullet vertical slices are thin, end-to-end implementation paths that cut across UI, API, and data layers. They enable incremental delivery by transforming high-level PRDs into small, testable GitHub issues that document acceptance criteria, blockers, and user stories for continuous progress tracking.

Yes, the generated GitHub issues capture parent PRD references and establish blockers to map dependencies. Each issue created from the tracer-bullet vertical slices includes user stories and acceptance criteria to track execution progress directly within GitHub Issues.

Yes, the PRD to issues workflow provides guidelines to establish blockers and map user stories to issues. It captures the PRD structure to generate thin, end-to-end slices across UI, API, and data layers while documenting parent PRD references for tracking progress through GitHub Issues.

You create end-to-end slices by applying tracer-bullet vertical slices to your PRD. This technique captures the PRD structure and generates thin, testable work items that independently touch UI, API, and data layers, marking each slice with acceptance criteria and user stories.
