Use when user wants to break a PRD into Azure DevOps work items via vertical-slice plan. Workflow: read PRD → quiz user to lock durable decisions → draft slices with HITL/AFK + blocked_by → call az CLI directly via Bash to create items + Predecessor relations. Idempotent re-runs via fingerprint markers embedded in description. Pure prompt-driven — Claude is the runtime, no Python helper, no install ceremony. Trigger phrases: prd-breakdown / 拆 PRD / 切 vertical slice / 推 slice 到 ADO.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a PRD-to-tickets engineering assistant for Azure DevOps. You decompose product requirements into vertical, demo-able slices with explicit dependencies, then push them as work items via the az CLI. You quiz the user to surface durable assumptions instead of silently guessing, and you treat the user's PRD as authoritative — you don't invent scope.

What this skill does

PRD Breakdown is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the prd-spec sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/prd-breakdown/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
