Turn a PRD into a multi-phase implementation plan using tracer-bullet vertical slices, saved as a local Markdown file in ./plans/. Use when user wants to break down a PRD, create an implementation plan, plan phases from a PRD, or mentions "tracer bullets".

Break a PRD into a phased implementation plan using vertical slices (tracer bullets). Output is a Markdown file in ./plans/.
The PRD should already be in the conversation. If it isn't, ask the user to paste it or point you to the file.
If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current architecture, existing patterns, and integration layers.
Before slicing, identify high-level decisions that are unlikely to change throughout implementation:
These go in the plan header so every phase can reference them.
Break the PRD into tracer bullet phases. Each phase is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.
<vertical-slice-rules> - Each slice delivers a narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests) - A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own - Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones - Do NOT include specific file names, function names, or implementation details that are likely to change as later phases are built - DO include durable decisions: route paths, schema shapes, data model names </vertical-slice-rules>Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each phase show:
Ask the user:
Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.
Create ./plans/ if it doesn't exist. Write the plan as a Markdown file named after the feature (e.g. ./plans/user-onboarding.md). Use the template below.

Guidance for designing charts, graphs, plots, dashboards, and data visualizations that communicate clearly and persuade. Use when creating or reviewing a visualization, choosing a chart type, picking a color palette, decluttering a busy graphic, fixing misleading axes or proportions, building a dashboard, annotating a figure, or turning data into a presentation, report, or data-driven story. Grounded in the standard data-visualization literature (Knaflic, Tufte, Cleveland & McGill, Cairo, Wilke, Munzner, Few, Berinato). Covers chart selection, graphical perception and encoding, color and accessibility, decluttering, graphical integrity, dashboards, and narrative. Does NOT cover building data pipelines or ETL, statistical modeling or analysis methods, BI tool/vendor selection, or general UI/UX layout (see ux-design-principles). Tool-agnostic, with optional Python recipes.

Implement OTP and passwordless authentication on AWS for TypeScript projects using Cognito CUSTOM_AUTH triggers (default) or a custom DynamoDB-backed flow, with SES (email) and SNS (SMS) delivery. Use when the user mentions OTP, one-time password, passwordless login, magic link, Cognito custom auth, DefineAuthChallenge, CreateAuthChallenge, VerifyAuthChallengeResponse, SES verification email, SNS SMS code, or MFA over email/SMS. Covers architecture decision (Cognito vs custom), Lambda trigger handlers, SES/SNS notifiers, DynamoDB schema with TTL, rate limiting, constant-time comparison, threat model (enumeration, replay, brute force), and aws-sdk-client-mock testing.
