SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using tracer-bullet vertical slices, turning long planning documents into concrete work items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Breaks PRD into end-to-end vertical slices that map to implementation work
  • Generates a structured backlog of issues suitable for GitHub or Gitea
  • Supports planning modes (HITL vs AFK) and dependency ordering to drive incremental delivery

Quick Start

Provide a PRD and let the tool generate the initial set of tracer-bullet issues to begin the project backlog.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a PRD into GitHub issues using vertical slices?

To break a PRD into GitHub issues, this tool analyzes your document and drafts end-to-end vertical slices, generating a dependency-ordered list of independently-grabbable issues ready for creation.

What are tracer bullets in product management issue creation?

Tracer bullets in issue creation are end-to-end vertical slices of a PRD that map directly to implementation work, turning long planning documents into concrete, independently-grabbable work items.

Does this PRD to issues tool work with Gitea as well as GitHub?

Yes, PRD to issue generation works with both GitHub and Gitea. The workflow detects your project's remotes to decide the platform and outputs issues via gh or mcp__gitea__issue_write.

Can I automate PRD breakdown without human interaction?

Yes, you can automate PRD breakdown without human interaction using the AFK planning mode, which drafts end-to-end vertical slices and generates a dependency-ordered issue list autonomously.

How does dependency ordering work for generated backlog issues?

Dependency ordering structures your generated backlog by sequencing end-to-end vertical slices, ensuring that foundational tracer-bullet issues are resolved before dependent work items are grabbed.
