kimtth Goal: turn a plan into thin vertical slices an agent or developer can finish.
Use for:
- converting PRDs, plans, or issue threads into implementation tickets
- splitting large features into demoable end-to-end slices
- marking work as human-in-the-loop or agent-ready
Workflow:
- Read the source plan, PRD, issue, and comments.
- Explore the codebase only as needed to use correct module names.
- Draft tracer-bullet slices that cut through schema, API, UI, and tests.
- Mark each issue as AFK or HITL and list blockers.
- Ask the user to approve granularity before publishing.
- Create issues with clear verification steps and labels.
Issue template:
- title
- user story or source requirement
- scope
- implementation notes
- verification
- blocked by
- AFK/HITL
Rules:
- prefer many small complete slices over one horizontal layer task
- each issue must be independently verifiable
- do not hide dependency order
- use the repo's domain vocabulary
