SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a Product Requirements Document into actionable work items is slow and error-prone: teams often create horizontal, layer-by-layer tasks that cannot be shipped or tested independently. This Skill converts a PRD into thin vertical slices and creates the corresponding GitHub issues automatically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Vertical Slice Decomposition: Splits a PRD into tracer-bullet slices that cut through all layers (schema, API, UI, tests) instead of horizontal per-layer tasks. - HITL/AFK Classification: Labels each slice as human-in-the-loop (HITL) or autonomous (AFK), preferring AFK where possible. - Dependency-Aware Issue Creation: Creates GitHub issues via gh issue create in dependency order, with a structured body template covering acceptance criteria, blockers, and covered user stories. - Use Case: You have a PRD stored as GitHub issue #42 for a new feature. Run this Skill to review the breakdown interactively, then generate 6 linked implementation issues ready for the team to pick up. ## Quick Start Break down the PRD in GitHub issue #42 into vertical slices and create the implementation issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about prd-to-issues

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a PRD into GitHub issues?▼

Provide the PRD's GitHub issue number, and the Skill fetches it with gh issue view, proposes vertical slices with dependencies, and creates issues via gh issue create after you approve the breakdown.

What is a vertical slice in task decomposition?▼

A vertical slice is a thin tracer-bullet task that passes through all integration layers (schema, API, UI, tests) end to end, rather than a horizontal slice covering only one layer. Each finished slice can be demonstrated or verified independently.

What is the difference between HITL and AFK slices?▼

HITL slices require human interaction, such as an architecture decision or design review, while AFK slices can be implemented and merged autonomously. The Skill prefers AFK slices whenever feasible.

Does this Skill modify the original PRD issue?▼

No. The Skill explicitly does not close or modify the parent PRD issue. It only creates new child issues that reference the parent PRD by number.

What tools are required to create issues from a PRD?▼

The GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated, since the Skill uses gh issue view to read the PRD and gh issue create to file the new tasks. Read and write tool access is declared in the Skill metadata.
