Epic planning translates vague features into well-scoped epics with defined milestones (MVP, Phase 2, Polish) and story groupings. The skill asks clarifying questions, estimates effort, identifies dependencies and risks, then generates epic documents and skeleton stories for multi-sprint or multi-month roadmaps.

Structured epic planning reduces scope creep by clarifying feature boundaries upfront through dependency and risk documentation. Defining milestones and initial stories creates a functional workflow that prevents team overwhelm and missed deadlines on complex initiatives.

Yes. Epic planning handles multi-sprint and multi-month roadmaps by breaking large features into logical epics with clear milestones, story groupings, and prioritization. It works for initiatives with scope ambiguity and complex dependency chains.

Epic planning automatically documents critical dependencies, risks, and assumptions during the breakdown process. This comprehensive approach surfaces potential blockers and assumptions before development begins, enabling better roadmap planning.

The skill generates epic documents and skeleton stories saved to docs/05-epics/, along with defined milestones, effort estimates, and prioritized story groupings. This provides a clear, trackable roadmap your team can execute against.

No. Epic planning is designed for product and management workflows. It asks clarifying questions and handles the structuring logic, making it accessible for users who need to translate vague feature descriptions into executable plans without deep technical setup required.
