What problem does it solve?

Initialize and manage epic workflows by creating a dedicated epic branch from development and establishing an initial scope commit, enabling isolation and structured progression for multi-feature initiatives.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Creates a new epic branch from the project's development branch (from {dev_branch}).
• Establishes an initial scope commit documenting objectives, in-scope and out-of-scope items, and planned features.
• Emits telemetry to track epic lifecycle events and readiness for the next design phase.
• Provides a standardized lifecycle flow from epic start to epic design and eventual merge back to development. Example: When starting a new epic like E14, the skill configures epic/e14/{name} and lays groundwork for subsequent stories and features.

Quick Start

Initialize epic/e{N}/{epic-slug} from {dev_branch} and record the initial scope commit.
