Is the folder structure customizable?

While it uses a standardized best-practice structure by default, you can provide an optional output directory during the initialization process to fit your specific project needs.

Does this skill require an existing PRD?

Yes, it is designed to read your PRD.md (and optionally Brief.md or Concept.md) to extract the context, goals, and story requirements automatically.

Can it create individual story specification files?

The Epic Initializer sets up the tracking and folders, but individual story specs are created on-demand using the /plan-story command, which is referenced in the generated tracking file.

How does this skill help with progress tracking?

It generates a metric section and a status table within the tracking document that monitors completed stories, phases, and overall percentage towards epic completion.

What is the primary output of the Epic Initializer skill?

The skill generates a comprehensive EPIC_TRACKING.md file and a dedicated directory structure (docs/specs/epics/epic_X/) that acts as a central source of truth for the epic's lifecycle.

Scaffolds epic documentation and directory structures automatically by extracting stories and objectives from your Product Requirements Document.

关于

Epic Initializer is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to bridge the gap between product planning and technical execution. It parses your Product Requirements Document (PRD) to automatically generate a standardized EPIC_TRACKING.md file and a structured directory architecture for complex software features. By extracting goals, user value, and individual story breakdowns, it creates a living central hub for tracking progress, managing dependencies, and providing a clear implementation roadmap directly within your repository, ensuring development stays perfectly aligned with product specs.
