lfe-to-issues

lfe-to-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from StChiotis/Library-First-Engineering. It costs 37 tokens per session (758 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning step that breaks a Product Requirements Document into small vertical slices: complete, independently demonstrable paths through the needed data, API, user interface, and tests. It labels slices that need human decisions or outside dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create narrow end-to-end issues, show dependencies, prefer work that can proceed without intervention, and request approval for the slice plan.
Why use it?
It makes a large feature easier to build and verify in small increments. Human approval happens before implementation proceeds with the proposed breakdown.

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

lfe-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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LFE To Issues

Position in Pipeline

  • Phase: 1 (Architect sub-pipeline, Step 3)
  • Persona: Architect
  • Input: .plans/02_prd.md
  • Output: .plans/03_slices.md
  • Gate: 🛑 Human must approve slices before proceeding

Process

1. Read input

Read .plans/02_prd.md as the source of truth — it carries this step's inputs, not the conversation.

2. Draft vertical slices

Break the PRD into tracer bullet slices. Each slice is a thin vertical cut through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.

Slices are either:

  • AFK — can be implemented and merged without human interaction
  • HITL — requires a human decision, design review, or external dependency

Prefer AFK over HITL where possible.

Vertical slice rules:

  • Each slice delivers a narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests)
  • A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own
  • Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones

3. Present to human

Present the proposed breakdown as a 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 user stories this addresses

Ask the human:

  • Does the granularity feel right?
  • Are the dependency relationships correct?
  • Should any slices be merged or split further?
  • Are the correct slices marked as HITL and AFK?

🛑 Iterate until the human approves the breakdown.

4. Write coordination file

Save approved slices to .plans/03_slices.md:

---
phase: architect
step: 3_slices
status: complete
timestamp: <ISO-8601>
source: .plans/02_prd.md
total_slices: <N>
approved_by_human: true
---
## Slice 1: <Title>
- **Type**: AFK
- **Blocked by**: None
- **Acceptance criteria**:
  - [ ] Criterion 1
  - [ ] Criterion 2

## Slice 2: <Title>
- **Type**: AFK
- **Blocked by**: Slice 1
- **Acceptance criteria**:
  - [ ] Criterion 1

lfe-to-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository StChiotis/Library-First-Engineering (46 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 758 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
