SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Breaks down a PRD into a structured, end-to-end implementation plan using tracer-bullet vertical slices, enabling teams to align on scope, dependencies, and delivery milestones.

Core Features & Use Cases

Vertical slicing: Convert a PRD into thin, end-to-end phases that touch every layer (data, API, UI, tests).
Durable decisions: Capture routing, data model, and integration decisions to guide all phases.
Plan export: Generate a Markdown plan file in ./plans/ using a standard template for review and execution.
User story mapping: Map PRD requirements to user stories and acceptance criteria across phases.

Quick Start

Provide a PRD in context and run this skill to generate a plan file under ./plans/.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn a PRD into an actionable implementation plan?▼

To turn a PRD into an implementation plan, provide the PRD in context and run the skill to generate a structured Markdown plan file saved in ./plans/. It breaks requirements into end-to-end phases with acceptance criteria.

What is tracer-bullet planning for product roadmaps?▼

Tracer-bullet planning for product roadmaps builds thin, end-to-end vertical slices that touch data, API, UI, and tests. This approach helps teams align on scope, dependencies, and delivery milestones across all layers.

How do I map user stories and acceptance criteria from a PRD?▼

Mapping user stories from a PRD involves converting requirements into phased acceptance criteria. The generated plan file captures durable decisions like data model and integration choices to guide all implementation phases.

Can I generate a phased delivery plan for small and large software projects?▼

Yes, generating a phased delivery plan works for PRDs of varying sizes across product and software projects. It outlines durable decisions and end-to-end phases, scaling the structured plan template to fit the project scope.

What durable decisions should be captured when creating a roadmap plan?▼

Creating a roadmap plan requires capturing durable decisions such as routing, data model, and integration choices. These decisions are outlined in the plan file to guide every vertical slice and implementation phase.

Does generating a plan file from a PRD require any external dependencies?▼

No, generating a plan file from a PRD requires no external dependencies or components. It operates independently to produce a Markdown file in ./plans/ using a standard template for review and execution.
