Vertical Slice Delivery
Required methodology for planning, ideating, and delivering features or tasks. Use when user asks to "plan", "break down", "implement" or "deliver".
How it works
Vertical Slice Delivery
This skill defines default delivery as independently valuable, reviewable vertical slices.
Load and obey its orchestrator AGENTS.md that lives next to this SKILL.md.
When to Apply
Use this skill whenever work is being:
- planned
- split into tasks or steps
- delivered incrementally
- resumed after interruption
Any deviation from vertical slice delivery MUST be explicit and justified.
Core Loop
Each slice = plan -> deliver -> quality gate -> review -> commit. No next slice starts until current slice is committed.
