SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert plans, specs, or requirements into independently-grabbable vertical slice issues. Each slice is a thin but complete end-to-end cut through all layers (schema, API, UI, tests). Classifies issues as HITL (human-in-the-loop) or AFK (automated, no human interaction needed).

Core Features & Use Cases

Vertical-slice decomposition: each slice is end-to-end across schema, API, UI, and tests.
HITL or AFK classification to guide human involvement.
Tracker-agnostic: works with GitHub Issues, Linear, or any issue tracker, and pairs with to-prd and triage for state management.

Quick Start

Provide a plan or PRD and the skill will decompose it into independently-actionable vertical slices.

FAQPage Schema

How do I break down a PRD into independently actionable vertical slice issues?▼

To break down a PRD into vertical slice issues, provide the plan or spec. It decomposes requirements into thin, end-to-end slices covering schema, API, UI, and tests for independent implementation.

What are vertical slices in software planning and how do they help issue decomposition?▼

Vertical slices in issue decomposition are thin, complete end-to-end cuts through all layers including schema, API, UI, and tests. They ensure each issue is independently grabbable by AI agents or human developers.

Does this issue decomposition method support GitHub Issues and Linear trackers?▼

Yes, this issue decomposition method is tracker-agnostic and supports GitHub Issues, Linear, or any issue tracker. It classifies issues as HITL or AFK to guide human involvement and integrates with common trackers.

Can I classify decomposed issues for automated AI agents versus human developers?▼

Yes, you can classify decomposed issues for automated AI agents or human developers. The skill categorizes work items as AFK for automated execution or HITL for human-in-the-loop tasks.

What is the best way to prepare feature plans for parallel work items?▼

The best way to prepare feature plans for parallel work items is decomposing them into vertical slices. This creates independently actionable tickets spanning schema, API, UI, and tests for simultaneous development.

Do I need a specific issue tracker to use vertical slice decomposition?▼

No, you do not need a specific issue tracker to use vertical slice decomposition. The skill is tracker-agnostic, working with GitHub Issues, Linear, or any platform while pairing with triage for state management.
