Turn a PRD into a Kanban-ready backlog of vertically sliced issues, with clear dependencies and HITL/AFK flags.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Turn a PRD into Issues This skill takes a clarified PRD and turns it into a **small, sharp backlog** of vertically sliced GitHub issues. Each issue should be an independently grabbable “tracer bullet” that cuts through all relevant layers end‑to‑end, flushing out unknown unknowns as early as possible. ## When to Use Use this skill when the user: - Has a PRD or similar spec (possibly created via `/spec-writer`) and now wants concrete issues. - Wants to turn “destination” docs into a Kanban board of tasks. - Needs to break work down so multiple engineers or agents can work in parallel without stepping on each other. If there is no PRD yet or the requirements are fuzzy, suggest using `/grill-me` and `/spec-writer` first. ## Concepts - **Vertical slice / tracer bullet:** A thin, end‑to‑end piece of functionality that goes through all necessary layers (data, domain, API, UI, etc.), not just one layer in isolation. - **HITL issue:** Requires Human‑In‑The‑Loop decisions (design review, stakeholder sign‑off, risky refactor, etc.). - **AFK issue:** “Away‑From‑Keyboard” for the human; safe enough for an autonomous agent to implement and merge without human intervention. …

How to install
mdr add kambleakash0/agent-skills/slice-the-spec@sha256:298bd8ec3b58bbddThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
