To Issues

Convert plans and specs into independently-actionable vertical slice issues.

When to use this skill

• Breaking down a plan or PRD into implementation tickets
• Decomposing a feature into parallel work items
• Preparing work for AI agents (AFK) or human developers (HITL)

When not to use this skill

• Creating a PRD from scratch → use to-prd
• Evaluating/categorizing existing issues → use triage
• Planning without implementation tickets → use task-planning

Core principle: vertical slices
