How do I start planning a new feature?

Simply type `/ctx:epic` followed by your feature idea. The skill will trigger a guided walkthrough to help you define the vision, scope, and potential risks.

What is an epic in Claude Code?

An epic is a high-level feature plan that breaks down a complex idea into specific requirements, technical considerations, and success criteria before the coding phase begins.

Does it integrate with my project's existing architecture?

Yes, the skill reads your vision and architecture files to ensure that every new feature aligns with your established technical patterns and domain logic.

What happens if a feature is too large?

The skill evaluates the complexity of the requirements and will suggest splitting 'XL' features into multiple smaller, more manageable epics if it exceeds 10 tasks.

Can this skill update existing plans?

Yes, by passing the file path of an existing epic to the skill, you can enter Update Mode to modify scope, add new requirements, or record discoveries in the changelog.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Orchestrates high-level feature planning by generating structured epic files with requirements, risk analysis, and scope definitions.

The Epic skill is a specialized planning subagent for Claude Code designed to help developers move from a rough feature idea to a comprehensive implementation plan. It analyzes project context via vision and architecture files to define feature scope, identify technical risks, and establish measurable success criteria. By acting as a 'mini plan-mode,' it encourages developers to foresee architectural conflicts and business logic impacts before a single line of code is written, ensuring features are well-structured and aligned with existing project patterns.
