What Create Epics does

Create Epics translates approved game design documents and architecture into one epic per architectural module, defining scope, governing ADRs, engine risk, and untraced requirements. Use it after architecture review and before creating stories.

Create Epics is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Create Epics comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-assisted-development, anthropic, claude and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Create Epics

An epic is a named, bounded body of work that maps to one architectural module. It defines what needs to be built and who owns it architecturally. It does not prescribe implementation steps — that is the job of stories.

Run this skill once per layer as you approach that layer in development. Do not create Feature layer epics until Core is nearly complete — the design will have changed.

Output: production/epics/[epic-slug]/EPIC.md + production/epics/index.md

Next step after each epic: /create-stories [epic-slug]

When to run: After /create-control-manifest and /architecture-review pass.
