SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Vertical slice development is critical to turning a Beads task into a runnable production path; this skill provides a structured approach to implement the full pipeline from type definitions through tests to wiring in code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end vertical slice development across types, tests, implementation, and wiring.
  • Beads task-driven workflow with plan-first guidance to reduce rework.
  • Production-grade wiring verification and integration checks to confirm code paths are wired correctly.

Quick Start

Plan backwards from the production code path and implement a full vertical slice across types, tests, and wiring.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement a vertical slice for a Beads task end to end?

To implement a vertical slice for a Beads task, plan backwards from the production code path and generate types, tests, and implementation wiring. This ensures all code paths are connected and validated.

What does vertical slice development include in a production wiring workflow?

Vertical slice development includes defining types, writing tests, implementing logic, and executing production-grade wiring. It connects dependency wiring and validates the full task path to prevent incomplete integration.

How do I verify production wiring and dependency integration for a vertical slice?

Verify production wiring by applying task-based validation across types, tests, and implementation. The workflow includes guardrails that check dependency wiring and confirm all code paths are correctly connected.

Can I use the Aura protocol workflow to automate Beads task implementation?

Yes, this workflow applies to Beads-driven development within the Aura protocol. It automates the end-to-end vertical slice implementation process, guiding engineers through types, tests, and wiring.

Why do my vertical slices have incomplete code paths during production wiring?

Incomplete code paths occur when dependency wiring is missing or unvalidated. Plan-first guidance and task-based validation guardrails prevent these gaps by verifying the full production path from types to implementation.
