PRD to Tasks

Break a PRD into independently-grabbable Backlog tasks using vertical slices (tracer bullets).

Process

1. Locate the PRD

Ask the user for the PRD — it may be a Backlog document, a file in the repo, or pasted inline.

If the PRD is a Backlog document, fetch it with document_view. If it's a file, read it from disk.

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 tasks. Each task is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.
