To Issues
Break a plan into independently-grabbable issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets).
The issue tracker should have been configured via /setup-workflow-skills.
Process
1. Gather context
Work from whatever is already in the conversation context. If the user passes an issue reference (issue number, URL, or path) as an argument, fetch it from the issue tracker and read its full body and comments.
2. Explore the codebase (optional)
If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code. Issue titles and descriptions should use the project's domain glossary vocabulary, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.
3. Draft vertical slices
Break the plan 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.

12setup-workflow-skills
Sets up an `## Agent orientation` block in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md so the engineering skills know this repo uses Beads for issue tracking. Run before first use of `to-tasks`, `to-prd`, `tdd`, `improve-codebase-architecture`, or `zoom-out`.
12to-prd
Turn the current conversation context into a PRD and publish it to Beads Issue Tracker. Use when user wants to create a PRD from the current context.
11write-a-skill
Create new agent skills with proper structure, progressive disclosure, and bundled resources. Use when user wants to create, write, or build a new skill.
9to-tasks
Break a plan, spec, or PRD into independently-grabbable tasks/issues on Beads Issue Tracker using tracer-bullet vertical slices. Use when user wants to convert a plan into tasks, create implementation tickets, or break down work into tasks.
9grill-me
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
