Manual epic creation is error-prone and slow when starting new projects or expanding existing ones. This skill standardizes how epics are created, initialized, and linked to project goals.
Determine Mode A or Mode B, capture the epic goal, and run the gp epic:create command to generate the epic and its goal file.

To automate epic creation for a new project, use Mode A to capture your idea, initialize the project state, and run the gp epic:create command. This generates the epic and writes the goal file to the .goodplan directory.
Yes, you can add a new epic to an existing project using Mode B. This mode captures your new epic idea and runs gp epic:create to initialize the epic state and write its goal file without disrupting existing project context.
Yes, you need gp version 1.0.0 or higher to initialize project epics. The workflow validates your gp version before applying Mode A or Mode B to ensure proper creation of epic state and context files.
Epic goals and project context files are stored in conventional .goodplan paths. Specifically, the epic goal is written to .goodplan/epics/<name>/goal.md to ensure Claude can reason with the current scope.
The best way to standardize project epic setup is to use a guided CLI workflow that validates your environment and automates file generation. This prevents manual errors by consistently writing epic goals and updating project context.
Manual epic creation slows down project planning because it is error-prone and requires repetitive setup for state initialization and linking goals. Automating this process with a CLI ensures standardization and faster project kickoff.
