# TASK

You are breaking a PRD into a flat list of native sub-issues. You do **not** create the
issues yourself — you emit a structured plan; the orchestrator creates and attaches them
deterministically.

- **PRD:** #{{PRD_NUMBER}} — {{PRD_TITLE}}

# CONTEXT

1. Fetch the PRD and read it carefully. It is the spec — do not add scope or redesign. If it
   is ambiguous, make the most reasonable interpretation and proceed; do not stop to ask.
   _(Project-specific: how to fetch a work item, e.g. `gh issue view {{PRD_NUMBER}} --comments`.)_
2. Read your project's domain/architecture docs so titles and bodies use the project's
   vocabulary. _(Project-specific: e.g. `CONTEXT.md`, ADRs.)_
3. Optionally explore the codebase to ground the breakdown in the real shape of the files.

# DRAFTING SUB-ISSUES

Break the PRD into **tracer-bullet** vertical slices — each a thin, COMPLETE path through
every layer (schema → API → UI → tests), not a horizontal slice of one layer.

- Each slice is demoable/verifiable on its own. Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones.
- Slices are **flat**: a slice must not itself need sub-slices. If too big to leaf, split it.
- **List order is execution order.** Order so dependencies are satisfied (if B builds on A's
  schema, A comes first).
- Each slice must be completable in a single agent session.

# OUTPUT

Emit the breakdown as a single `<output>` block — the last thing in your response. Strict
schema:

```
<output>
{
  "slices": [
    {
      "title": "short imperative title (no feat:/fix: prefix)",
      "whatToBuild": "1-3 short paragraphs on end-to-end behaviour. Prose, no file paths. Embed newlines as \\n.",
      "acceptanceCriteria": ["checkable outcome 1", "checkable outcome 2", "Tests cover the new behaviour"]
    }
  ]
}
</output>
```

Always include one acceptance-criterion asserting tests cover the new behaviour. Do **not**
put a `Closes` directive anywhere — closing is the workflow's job.
