SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a PRD into a practical implementation plan by splitting broad product requirements into small, independently executable slices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Breaks a PRD into thin vertical cuts that span schema, API, UI, and tests.
  • Labels each slice as HITL or AFK and maps dependencies between them.
  • Creates linked Obsidian notes plus a dependency graph so teams can plan, review, and track work.
  • Use it when you want to convert a PRD into issues, tickets, or a phased delivery plan.

Quick Start

Ask me to break down the PRD you want into ordered slices and linked Obsidian notes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a PRD into vertical slices for implementation tickets?

To break a PRD into vertical slices, you split broad product requirements into thin cuts spanning schema, API, UI, and tests, label each as HITL or AFK, and map dependencies to generate actionable tickets.

What is the best way to generate a dependency graph from a PRD in Obsidian?

Generating a dependency graph from a PRD in Obsidian involves mapping slice dependencies and creating linked notes with a Mermaid diagram, allowing teams to visually plan and track phased delivery.

Can I use tracer bullets to plan phased feature delivery from a PRD?

Yes, you can use tracer bullets to plan phased feature delivery by converting a PRD into ordered, independently executable vertical slices that validate architecture early before full implementation.

Does converting a PRD into Obsidian notes require iterative user review?

Yes, converting a PRD into Obsidian notes requires iterative user review to ensure slice dependency ordering, accurate work breakdowns, and proper PRD updates throughout the product planning workflow.

How do vertical slices help manage dependencies in a work breakdown structure?

Vertical slices help manage dependencies in a work breakdown structure by creating independently grabbable units of work that map dependencies between slices, preventing blockers during implementation.
