SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turn a PRD into a structured, end-to-end implementation plan by dividing it into tracer-bullet vertical slices that map to architecture, APIs, UI, and testing, and save the result as a Markdown file in ./plans/.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vertical-slice planning: Converts a PRD into multiple complete slices that cover all layers from data models to UI interactions.
  • Durable decisions: Captures route paths, data models, and milestones to keep planning stable across phases.
  • Use Case: When a product team has a PRD and wants a concrete, phased plan with milestones, this skill generates a plan scaffold under ./plans/.

Quick Start

Paste your PRD text and I will generate a phased tracer-bullet implementation plan saved as a Markdown file in ./plans/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a PRD into an actionable implementation plan with milestones?

To turn a PRD into an actionable plan, you convert it into multi-phase tracer-bullet vertical slices mapping architecture, APIs, UI, and testing. This produces a structured plan scaffold with milestones saved as a Markdown file under ./plans/.

What are tracer-bullet vertical slices in software planning?

Tracer-bullet vertical slices are complete end-to-end implementation segments spanning all layers from data models to UI interactions. They decompose a PRD into durable phases covering architecture, API, and testing milestones.

How do I structure a phased roadmap from a product requirements document?

Structure a phased roadmap from a product requirements document by decomposing it into vertical slices with phase headers. Capture durable decisions like route paths and data models to generate a plan file with user story references and acceptance criteria.

Does this PRD planning approach capture architecture and data model decisions?

Yes, this PRD planning approach captures durable decisions including route paths, data models, and milestones. This ensures architecture and API planning remain stable across different vertical-slice implementation phases.

Can I generate user stories and acceptance criteria from a PRD?

Yes, you can generate user story references and acceptance criteria from a PRD. The planning workflow converts product requirements into a Markdown plan file structure that explicitly includes these references alongside phase headers.
