Primary pipeline decomposition step after /write-a-prd. Use when a shaped PRD is ready to become implementation-ready slices with boundary maps and dependency order. Not for unresolved scope, appetite, or solution direction.
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 Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets). ## Invocation Position This is a primary pipeline skill that normally follows `/write-a-prd` and precedes `/execute`. Use `/prd-to-issues` when a PRD is already shaped and you need implementation-ready slices with clear contracts between them. Do not use it as a substitute for shaping. If the PRD is still changing at the level of solution direction, rabbit holes, or appetite, go back to `/write-a-prd` first. ## Process ### 1. Locate the PRD Ask the user for the PRD: a GitHub issue number (or URL), or a `W-<n>` sidecar work item id. **Ask where slices live first.** `backend slices` answers it, per [references/state-backend.md](references/state-backend.md). The answer holds for §§1, 7, 8, and 9: ```bash SC="<this skill's directory>/references/sidecar.sh" BACKEND="$(bash "$SC" backend slices)" || BACKEND= case "$BACKEND" in github) echo "slices backend: github" ;; sidecar) echo "slices backend: sidecar" ;; *) echo "slices backend: refused; stop and relay the stderr above" >&2; exit 1 ;; esac ``` - **`github`**: follow the GitHub steps in each section. …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/prd-to-issues@sha256:9fd3108eb56a489cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.01fdd6e, 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.
