This skill should be used when the user asks to "break down a PRD", "convert PRD to issues", "create issues from a PRD", "split a PRD into tickets", "create implementation tickets", or wants to turn a product requirements document into independently-grabbable GitHub issues.

Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets). Each issue cuts through all integration layers end-to-end — not horizontal slices of a single layer.
Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets). Each issue cuts through all integration layers end-to-end — not horizontal slices of a single layer.
Ask the user for the PRD GitHub issue number or URL. If the PRD is not already in the conversation context, fetch it with gh issue view <number>.
If the codebase has not already been explored, read relevant files to understand the current architecture. This grounds the slice boundaries in reality.
Break the PRD into tracer bullet issues. Each issue is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end.
Slices are either:
Rules for slicing:
Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each slice, show:
Then ask:
Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.
For each approved slice, create a GitHub issue using gh issue create with the template in references/issue-template.md.
Create issues in dependency order (blockers first) so real issue numbers can be referenced in the "Blocked by" field.
Do NOT close or modify the parent PRD issue.
Once the issues are created, suggest: "Pick an issue to start on, and ask me to use TDD to implement it."
