prd-to-issues

prd-to-issues is a skill for Claude Code from softspark/ai-toolkit. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning tool that breaks a product requirements document, or PRD, into small GitHub issues covering complete pieces of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create vertical-slice work items, label them as requiring human input or suitable for unattended work, and add them to GitHub in dependency order.
Why use it?
It turns a large feature description into independent tasks, showing which tasks depend on others and which need human decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prd-to-issues scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

PRD to Issues

$ARGUMENTS

Break a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets).

Usage

/prd-to-issues [PRD issue number]

What This Command Does

  1. Fetches PRD from GitHub issue
  2. Explores codebase for context
  3. Drafts vertical slices with HITL/AFK classification
  4. Quizzes user on breakdown
  5. Creates GitHub issues in dependency order via gh issue create

Process

1. Locate the PRD

Fetch with gh issue view <number> (with comments). If no number provided, ask.

2. Draft Vertical Slices

Each issue is a thin vertical slice cutting through ALL layers end-to-end.

Classification Description
AFK Can be implemented and merged without human interaction (prefer)
HITL Requires human decision — architectural choice, design review, etc.

3. Quiz the User

Present as numbered list. For each slice show:

  • Title: short descriptive name
  • Type: HITL / AFK
  • Blocked by: which other slices must complete first
  • User stories covered: which stories from the PRD

Ask:

  • Granularity right? (too coarse / too fine)
  • Dependency relationships correct?
  • HITL vs AFK classification correct?
  • Any slices to merge or split?

Iterate until approved.

4. Create GitHub Issues

Create in dependency order (blockers first) so real issue numbers can be referenced.

Use gh issue create with the template below for each slice.

Issue Template

Parent PRD

#{prd-issue-number}

What to build

Concise description of this vertical slice. End-to-end behavior, not layer-by-layer. Reference parent PRD sections, don't duplicate.

Acceptance criteria

  • Criterion 1
  • Criterion 2
  • Criterion 3

Blocked by

  • Blocked by #{issue-number} (if any)

Or "None — can start immediately" if no blockers.

User stories addressed

Reference by number from the parent PRD:

  • User story 3
  • User story 7

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
