skill-work-slicing
Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than
/octo:*slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, seeskills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.
Work Slicing
Turn a plan, spec, or the conversation so far into a set of tickets. Each one is a vertical slice — a narrow but complete path through every layer — and each declares the tickets that block it.
This is the step between "we know what we are building" and "someone can pick up
a piece of it". It does not decide anything: if decisions are still open, run
skill-pressure-test first.
