What problem does it solve? Turning a PRD into a build order often produces horizontal task lists that defer integration risk until late in the project. This Skill sequences work into vertical slices so each phase is demoable and de-risks the next. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tracer-bullet slicing: Designs thin vertical slices that cut through all integration layers, with the first slice proving the riskiest assumption. - Four anchors per slice: Every slice gets a design anchor, data anchor, done anchor, and process anchor tied to the to-be process map, plus a Leaf node or Core architecture classification. - Deliverables and phase records: Groups slices into Screen, Logic, and Integration deliverables, writes phase records, and updates docs/backlog.md with exact section headers. - Use Case: After design review, you have a backlog of Ready slices and a to-be process map. Invoke this Skill to produce an approved phased plan with deliverables, then optionally convert it into GitHub issues in dependency order. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to turn the approved PRD into a phased implementation plan using the slices in docs/backlog.md and the to-be process map.
