# PR Slicer ## Goal Reduce review latency and rework by shipping smaller, independent slices. ## Default Slice Budgets - Target `<= 400` changed lines per slice when practical. - Target `<= 10` changed files per slice when practical. - Target `1-4` commits per slice. - Keep each slice behaviorally coherent and independently verifiable. ## Slicing Order 1. Extract prerequisites first. 2. Land mechanical refactors next. 3. Land behavior changes after prerequisites are merged. 4. Land UI/docs/polish last. ## Slice Packet Template For each slice, define: - `Goal` - `Owned files` - `Out of scope` - `Risk level` (`low`/`medium`/`high`) - `Verification command(s)` with expected pass condition - `Rollback plan` ## Hard Rules - Avoid mixing refactor and behavior changes in one slice unless unavoidable. - Avoid touching unrelated subsystems in one slice. - Avoid cross-slice hidden dependencies. - If a slice depends on unmerged work, state it explicitly. ## Verification Discipline - Run narrow checks first for touched behavior. - Run project gate checks before handoff. - Record exact commands and outcomes for each slice. ## Final Handoff Format - Slice list with order and purpose - Per-slice owned files - Per-slice verification evidence - Residual risk and follow-up slices
