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.
