prd-to-issues

To convert a PRD into GitHub issues, provide the PRD URL or issue number. The system breaks the document into independently-grabbable vertical slices spanning schema, API, UI, and tests.

Tracer bullets are end-to-end vertical slices that traverse all software layers to translate PRDs into concrete implementation tickets, defining clear scope and enabling incremental delivery.

Yes, you can classify GitHub issues as human-in-the-loop (HITL) or autonomous (AFK). This classification includes clearly defined blockers and dependencies for each vertical slice.

Yes, a PRD document is required to generate vertical slices. You must provide the PRD URL or an existing GitHub issue number to initiate the tracer bullet breakdown process.

To validate GitHub issue dependencies before implementation, use the reviewer-centric workflow. The system presents generated slices for approval, allowing you to adjust granularity and track dependencies.

The best way to break down product initiatives for engineers is using vertical slices. This approach transforms PRDs into small end-to-end work items spanning all layers, ensuring clear scope and incremental delivery.
