vertical-slice-planning

Use this skill when discussing feature breakdown, PR structure, implementation ordering, or how to decompose work. Guides thinking about vertical slices (end-to-end functionality) rather than horizontal layers (all of one layer first). Triggers on "how should we break this down?", "what order should we implement?", "how many PRs?", or decomposition discussions.
