SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a plan, spec, or long conversation into actionable work items is error-prone: slices end up horizontal, dependencies stay implicit, and tickets land in the tracker without any ordering. This Skill converts that context into vertical tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring exactly which other tickets block it, and publishes them to your configured tracker. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Vertical slice drafting: Splits work into narrow but complete slices cutting through schema, API, UI, and tests, each demoable on its own and sized for a single context window. - Blocking edge management: Every ticket declares its blockers; wide refactors are sequenced as expand-migrate-contract batches so CI stays green. - Dual publishing targets: Writes one local file per ticket under .scratch/<feature-slug>/issues/ or publishes real issues with native blocking links and a ready-for-agent triage label on GitHub, Linear, or similar trackers. - Use Case: After drafting a feature spec in conversation, ask for a ticket breakdown; review the proposed numbered list with blocking edges, approve it, and have the tickets published to your tracker in dependency order. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to break the current plan or a referenced spec into tracer-bullet tickets and publish them to the configured tracker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a feature spec into tickets?

Provide the spec path, issue URL, or work from the current conversation, and the Skill drafts vertical tracer-bullet slices. Each ticket shows its title, blocking tickets, and delivered behavior for your approval before publishing.

What is a tracer-bullet or vertical slice ticket?

A vertical slice cuts a narrow but complete path through every layer — schema, API, UI, and tests — so the finished ticket is demoable on its own. It contrasts with horizontal slices that only cover one layer and cannot be verified independently.

Can I publish tickets to GitHub or Linear?

Yes, if a real tracker was configured via the setup skill, tickets are published as issues in dependency order using native blocking or sub-issue relationships. Without a tracker, one local Markdown file per ticket is written under .scratch instead.

How are wide refactors handled in ticket breakdowns?

Wide refactors are sequenced as expand-contract: first add the new form beside the old, then migrate call sites in blast-radius-sized batches, then delete the old form. Each batch is its own ticket with blocking edges keeping CI green.

Why does the skill avoid file paths in ticket descriptions?

File paths and code snippets go stale quickly as the codebase evolves, so tickets describe end-to-end behavior instead. The exception is prototype snippets that encode a decision, such as a state machine or schema shape.
