SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps turn a written spec into a practical set of tracker issues so teams can move from planning to execution without losing the original intent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Epic creation: Summarizes the feature into an execution-tracking epic issue.
  • Work stream slicing: Breaks the work into thin, end-to-end vertical slices that can be shipped independently.
  • Issue tracker publishing: Structures titles, dependencies, and acceptance criteria for ready-to-create issues.
  • Use case: A product or engineering lead has a spec and ADRs and wants a reviewable implementation plan broken into sequenced tickets.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to break your spec into epic and work-stream tickets for the project issue tracker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a software spec into shippable issue tickets?

To turn a spec into shippable issue tickets, you break the spec and its ADRs into an execution-tracking epic issue and independently shippable work stream sub-issues. This structures your feature implementation into sequenced tracker tickets.

What is tracer-bullet slicing for issue tracker setup?

Tracer-bullet slicing for issue tracker setup is the process of breaking down feature implementation into thin, end-to-end vertical slices. This produces independently shippable work stream sub-issues that can be tracked and shipped sequentially.

How do I create epic issues from ADRs and spec documents?

You create epic issues from ADRs and spec documents by summarizing the feature into an execution-tracking epic issue. This requires aligning authoritative spec documents and ADR references with your project issue taxonomy to produce publishable ticket metadata.

Do I need ADR references to generate work stream sub-issues?

Yes, ADR references are required to generate work stream sub-issues. The process requires alignment with authoritative spec documents and ADR references alongside the project issue taxonomy to accurately slice and publish tracker tickets.

What is the best way to break feature specs into sequenced tracker tickets?

The best way to break feature specs into sequenced tracker tickets is applying vertical slice work stream breakdown. This distinguishes itself by structuring titles, dependencies, and acceptance criteria into ready-to-create issues rather than generic task lists.

When should I not use epic and work-stream ticket generation?

You should not use epic and work-stream ticket generation when you lack authoritative spec documents or established ADR references. Without aligned project issue taxonomy and foundational spec metadata, the generated ticket dependencies and acceptance criteria will be inaccurate.
