Use this skill to create GitHub issues from a finalized PRD or plan. Use `/architect` for deeper analysis and planning before issue creation.
## Process
1. **Locate the PRD** — find the PRD wherever it exists (GitHub issue, local file, or in the conversation).
2. **Explore the codebase** — understand the existing architecture, conventions, and relevant code paths needed to break the work into slices.
3. **Draft vertical slices** — break the PRD into tracer bullets (vertical slices). Each slice should wire through all layers end-to-end rather than building horizontally (all backend → all UI → all routes). Phase 1 should always be the simplest possible end-to-end wiring.
4. **Categorize each slice:**
- **AFK** — can be implemented and merged without human interaction. Prefer AFK where possible.
- **Human-in-the-loop (HITL)** — requires human interaction such as an architectural decision, design review, or taste judgment.
5. **Create a QA issue** — always create a final issue with a detailed manual QA plan for all items that require human verification. This is the last issue in the dependency chain.
6. **Quiz the user** — present the proposed breakdown and ask:
- Does the granularity feel right?
- Are the dependency relationships correct?
- Should any slic
