to-issues

To break a PRD into actionable issue tracker tickets, the skill translates your plan into independently-grabbable vertical slices using tracer bullets. Each slice spans schema, API, UI, and tests to deliver a complete end-to-end path for tracking.

Tracer-bullet vertical slices are thin, end-to-end implementation paths cutting across all layers like code, design, tests, and docs. They ensure each tracked issue delivers a functional path rather than isolating tasks by technical layer.

You classify and order project issues by labeling each vertical slice as either HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) or AFK (Away-From-Keyboard), then ordering them sequentially to unblock downstream work for precise end-to-end tracking.

Yes, you can use a formal issue template for triage and progress tracking. Each vertical slice is published to the issue tracker using a consistent template that explicitly includes blockers to support effective team triage.

You do not need a complete spec to generate tracked implementation tasks; providing a general plan or PRD is sufficient. The tool translates the provided document into end-to-end tracer-bullet issues formatted for your project tracker.
