Converts a spec or an implementation plan into work items for the user's tracker, with the granularity, fields and links the user needs. The tracker can be GitHub or GitLab issues, Jira or Azure DevOps work items, Linear issues, or a plain task list. Use it whenever the user asks to create issues, tickets, tasks, stories, epics, a backlog or a board from a spec or plan, or asks "how do we split this work for the team".

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

# Work items breakdown

Creating items in a shared tracker is visible to other people. Always show a preview and get a clear yes before you create anything.

## 1. Ask what the user needs

Ask these questions in one round (with recommended options first), unless the answers are already clear:

| Question | Typical options |
| --- | --- |
| Where do the items go? | GitHub issues (`gh`), GitLab issues (`glab`), Jira, Azure DevOps (`az boards`), Linear, a task list that the project keeps in git (the task file it already has, otherwise `docs/<slug>-tasks.md`) |
| What granularity? | One item per plan step (Recommended when a plan exists), one per acceptance criterion, one epic with child tasks |
| Which fields? | Labels, milestone, assignee, estimate, parent or epic, iteration |
| Do items link to each other? | Dependencies from the plan order, parent/child |

Check which tools are available (`gh auth status`, `glab auth status`, `az account show`, MCP servers). If none works, produce a markdown file and say how to import it.

## 2. Build each item
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add webreactiva/yesyak/work-items-breakdown@sha256:3c818c6cf3b5c940

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.00e5e7a, 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.
