Turn a finished Product Requirements Document (PRD) into GitHub milestones and complete, scored issues with typed dependencies and Execution blocks. Use for "file the issues from the PRD", "/prd-to-issues", or "break this into GitHub issues". Stage 4 of the new-app-pipeline.

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

# prd-to-issues

Produce a complete, dependency-ordered backlog an agent can implement from each issue plus its cited PRD. The deliverable ends at verified GitHub issues; building and dispatch need their own instruction.

Follow the target repo's CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md Response Style and attribution rules. Read [github-issue-format](../github-issue-format/SKILL.md) before composing bodies. Read [validate-issue step 6](../validate-issue/SKILL.md#6-score-complexity) and its [complexity-scoring reference](../validate-issue/complexity-scoring.md) for scoring and routing; they own the formula and band tables. Do not start the validation workflow.

## 1. Establish the source and existing work

- Identify the target repo, PRD revision, and release scope. Read the full PRD, repo instructions, code, and tests; separate implemented from planned work. In an empty repo, mark proposed boundaries as proposed.
- Fetch all open and closed issues and milestones, with pagination. Reuse an issue only after comparing body, acceptance criteria, and implementation evidence; a matching title or closed state proves nothing. Preserve existing work and deliberate execution overrides.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richkuo/rk-skills/prd-to-issues@sha256:1079a44590214954

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.9d94782, 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.
