SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Translates approved GDDs and architectural guidance into well-scoped epics for each architectural module, ensuring alignment with ADRs and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Creates per-system epics at .ags/project/epics/[epic-slug]/EPIC.md and updates the central epics index.
Enforces a layer-aware workflow (Foundation, Core, Feature, Presentation) and tracks the Next Step after each epic.
Prepares the epic for downstream story creation with a clear Next Step: run /create-stories [epic-slug].

Quick Start

Run /create-epics layer: foundation to generate epics for all systems in that layer.

FAQPage Schema

How do I break a game design document into actionable epics for each architectural module?▼

To break a game design document (GDD) into actionable epics, you automate the translation of approved GDDs and architecture into executable epics for each architectural module. This ensures alignment with ADRs and governance.

What is the best way to generate per-system epics across architectural layers like Foundation or Core?▼

Generating per-system epics across Foundation, Core, Feature, and Presentation layers requires enforcing a layer-aware workflow. You run commands specifying the layer to generate epics for all systems within that architectural layer.

How do I track untraced requirements when creating epics from approved GDDs?▼

Tracking untraced requirements when creating epics from approved GDDs happens automatically during epic generation. The process surfaces untraced requirements while documenting epic scope for downstream story creation.

Do I need approved architecture decision records before generating epics for my project?▼

Approved architecture decision records (ADRs) are considered during epic generation to ensure alignment. ADR governance is applied to the process, validating that the generated epics for each architectural module comply with established decisions.

Can I use this epic generation process to prepare for downstream story creation?▼

Yes, you can use this epic generation process to prepare for downstream story creation. It documents the epic scope and outputs a clear Next Step instruction to run the create-stories command for the generated epic slug.

When should I not use automated epic generation from GDDs?▼

You should not use automated epic generation from GDDs if your architectural modules lack approved governance or ADRs. The process relies on translating approved GDDs and architectural guidance into well-scoped epics.
