Vertical Slice Tracker

Overview

Break work into thin, end-to-end slices that deliver visible progress without splitting planning into frontend/backend/database silos. When the user asks for a written plan, create or update a markdown tracker and treat it as a live artifact that must stay in sync with the real state of the work.

Workflow

1. Define the outcome

• Restate the behavior or capability to deliver.
• Split by user-visible or system-visible value, not by technical layer.
• Keep platform or infrastructure setup as its own task only when it blocks multiple slices.

2. Build vertical slices
