SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction between approved design/architecture documents and the actionable epic plan developers can execute.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Epic generation per architectural module: Converts in-scope GDD and module ownership into one bounded epic per system/module.
  • ADR-governed scope: Selects governing accepted ADRs, derives engine risk, and flags untraced requirements for attention.
  • Workflow integration (no stories): Produces production/epics/[epic-slug]/EPIC.md and updates production/epics/index.md, then instructs you to run /create-stories next.

Quick Start

Run create-epics for the Core layer in lean mode: create-epics layer: core --review lean

Frequently Asked Questions about create-epics

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn an approved GDD and architecture into epics for production planning?▼

To turn an approved GDD and architecture into epics, map systems to modules and apply governing ADRs to generate bounded epic files under the production directory. The process requires scanning in-scope GDDs and applying dependency-safe layer ordering.

How do I generate Godot project epics from architecture documents?▼

Generating Godot project epics from architecture documents involves creating one bounded epic per system module, selecting governing accepted ADRs, and deriving engine risk to produce EPIC.md files under production/epics/.

Can I trace untraced requirements when creating architectural epics?▼

You can trace untraced requirements when creating architectural epics because the process includes producer gate checks and explicit untraced requirement reporting to flag gaps needing attention before execution.

Do I need YAML frontmatter discovery to create epics from GDDs?▼

YAML frontmatter discovery is required to create epics from GDDs, as it enables in-scope GDD scanning and dependency-safe layer ordering to correctly transition architecture inputs into executable scope.

What is the next step after generating epics from GDD and architecture inputs?▼

The next step after generating epics from GDD and architecture inputs is creating stories. The workflow produces EPIC.md files and updates index.md, then instructs you to run create-stories next.

When should I not use automated epic generation from GDDs?▼

You should not use automated epic generation from GDDs before completing control-manifest and architecture review, as the process requires approved technical architecture inputs and accepted ADRs to properly derive executable scope.
