What problem does it solve? Turning a product requirements document into actionable engineering work is slow and error-prone: teams often create horizontal, layer-by-layer tickets that cannot ship independently. This Skill breaks a PRD into thin vertical slices and creates the corresponding GitHub issues with dependencies, acceptance criteria, and user-story traceability. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Vertical slice breakdown: Splits a PRD into tracer-bullet issues that cut through all integration layers end-to-end, classified as HITL (needs human input) or AFK (fully automatable). - Interactive review loop: Presents the proposed breakdown with titles, types, blockers, and covered user stories, then iterates with the user until the granularity and dependencies are approved. - GitHub issue creation: Uses gh issue create in dependency order so each issue body references real blocker issue numbers, the parent PRD, acceptance criteria, and user stories. - Use Case: A product manager pastes a PRD issue number; the Skill fetches it with gh issue view, proposes six vertical slices, and after approval creates six linked GitHub issues ready for engineers to pick up independently. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to break PRD issue number 42 into vertical-slice GitHub issues and create them after reviewing the proposed breakdown.
