# PRD to Issues
|
|
|
|
Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets).
|
|
|
|
## Process
|
|
|
|
### 1. Locate the PRD
|
|
|
|
Ask the user for the PRD GitHub issue number (or URL).
|
|
|
|
If the PRD is not already in your context window, fetch it with `gh issue view <number>` (with comments).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Explore the codebase (optional)
|
|
|
|
If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Draft vertical slices
|
|
|
|
Break the PRD into **tracer bullet** issues. Each issue is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.
|
|
|
|
Slices may be 'HITL' or 'AFK'. HITL slices require human interaction, such as an architectural decision or a design review. AFK slices can be implemented and merged without human interaction. Prefer AFK over HITL where possible.
|
|
|
|
<vertical-slice-rules>
|
|
- Each slice delivers a narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests)
|
|
- A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own
|
|
- Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones
|
|
</vertical-slice-rules>
|
|
|
|
### 4. Quiz the user
|
|
|
|
Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each slice, show:
|
|
|
|
- **Title**: short descriptive name
|
|
- **Type**: HITL / AFK
|
|
- **Blocked by**: which other slices (if any) must complete first
|
|
- **User stories covered**: which user stories from the PRD this addresses
|
|
|
|
Ask the user:
|
|
|
|
- Does the granularity feel right? (too coarse / too fine)
|
|
- Are the dependency relationships correct?
|
|
- Should any slices be merged or split further?
|
|
- Are the correct slices marked as HITL and AFK?
|
|
|
|
Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Create the GitHub issues
|
|
|
|
For each approved slice, create a GitHub issue using `gh issue create`. Use the issue body template below.
|
|
|
|
Create issues in dependency order (blockers first) so you can reference real issue numbers in the "Blocked by" field.
|
|
|
|
<issue-template>
|
|
## Parent PRD
|
|
|
|
#<prd-issue-number>
|
|
|
|
## What to build
|
|
|
|
A concise description of this vertical slice. Describe the end-to-end behavior, not layer-by-layer implementation. Reference specific sections of the parent PRD rather than duplicating content.
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance criteria
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Criterion 1
|
|
- [ ] Criterion 2
|
|
- [ ] Criterion 3
|
|
|
|
## Blocked by
|
|
|
|
- Blocked by #<issue-number> (if any)
|
|
|
|
Or "None - can start immediately" if no blockers.
|
|
|
|
## User stories addressed
|
|
|
|
Reference by number from the parent PRD:
|
|
|
|
- User story 3
|
|
- User story 7
|
|
|
|
</issue-template>
|
|
|
|
Do NOT close or modify the parent PRD issue.
