To Tasks

Break a plan into independently-grabbable issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets).

Process

1. Gather context

Work from whatever is already in the conversation context. If the user passes an issue reference as an argument, fetch it from the Beads Issue Tracker bd show <id>, fetch any parent and linked issues for full context.

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. Identify existing quality checks: type-checking, linting and testing frameworks.

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.
