prd-to-issues

To convert a PRD into vertical-slice issues, provide the implementation plan to generate a prioritized list of independently shippable tickets. The output includes per-issue context, acceptance criteria, and a dependency map to guide the implementation sequence.

Yes, you can export generated issues to GitHub or Linear. The Skill provides flexible workflow output options, allowing you to push the dependency-aware vertical-slice tickets directly to your issue tracker or save them as local markdown files.

A vertical-slice issue is an independently shippable, testable, and demoable work item. In dependency-aware planning, these slices are ordered from plan to delivery using a visual dependency map to ensure correct implementation sequencing.

Yes, issue generation works with local markdown outputs. If you prefer not to integrate directly with an issue tracker like GitHub or Linear, the tool can generate the prioritized issues and dependency graph as local markdown files.

Including a dependency map when breaking down a PRD ensures tickets are ordered correctly from plan to delivery. It provides explicit dependencies for each vertical slice, preventing implementation bottlenecks and clarifying what must be built before subsequent issues.

You need a PRD or implementation plan to generate tracked work items. The Skill processes this input to create prioritized, dependency-aware issues with acceptance criteria, transforming high-level planning documents into actionable development tasks.
