zdev slice

Create a short brief for a bounded increment within an existing area. A slice lets related work share an objective and scope boundary without creating another area.

Examples

zdev slice create greeting named-output \
  --title 'Named greeting' \
  --objective 'Include the supplied name in the greeting' \
  --boundary 'Command-line output only'
zdev slice show greeting named-output

Subcommands

zdev slice create AREA KEY --title TITLE --objective OBJECTIVE --boundary BOUNDARY...
zdev slice list AREA
zdev slice show AREA KEY

The slice key is a lowercase identifier used for its filename. Supply at least one --boundary, repeating the option for additional boundaries. list shows all slice briefs in an area; show reads one brief.

Creating a slice writes its brief. Task creation and import remain separate; use tasks for the task queue. See task format for associating tasks with briefs and area when the work needs a separate objective.
