FAQPage Schema

How do I break down a PRD into trackable issues for my issue tracker?▼

To break a PRD into trackable issues, this skill uses tracer-bullet vertical slices to divide the plan into independently-grabbable, dependency-ordered tickets ready for triage on your project issue tracker.

What is tracer-bullet vertical slice planning for project management?▼

Tracer-bullet vertical slice planning is a technique that drafts end-to-end workflow issues to ensure independently-grabbable tasks, distinguishing between human-in-the-loop (HITL) and asynchronous (AFK) work slices.

How do I create implementation tickets with correct dependency order from a spec?▼

To create implementation tickets with correct dependency order from a spec, the skill drafts vertical slices and determines their dependencies before publishing the issues in a triage-ready format.

Can I generate issues for both human-in-the-loop and asynchronous workflows?▼

Yes, you can generate issues for both workflows by drafting vertical slices that explicitly distinguish between human-in-the-loop (HITL) and asynchronous (AFK) tasks during the breakdown process.

What's the best way to convert a project plan into triage-ready issues?▼

The best way to convert a plan into triage-ready issues is applying tracer-bullet vertical slices, which handles context gathering, user validation, and dependency ordering before publishing to the issue tracker.
