SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the fragmentation and overhead associated with managing large-scale development epics by automating the transition between sub-issues and maintaining a consistent, assembly-line-style implementation pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Pipeline Orchestration: Executes sub-issues sequentially using a defined implementation workflow, ensuring each PR is merged before the next task begins.
  • Contextual Alignment: Facilitates initial epic-level alignment and handles user-gated decisions without breaking the flow of autonomous tasks.
  • Use Case: When managing a complex feature rollout, use this skill to coordinate multiple sub-tasks, ensuring dependencies are respected and the board remains updated without manual intervention between every step.

Quick Start

Invoke the epic skill by providing the issue number of the epic you wish to process to begin the automated assembly line.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub epic execution for sequential sub-tasks?

Automated epic execution orchestrates GitHub issue sub-tasks sequentially, ensuring each PR is merged before the next begins. It manages transitions between autonomous implementation and user-gated verification across worktrees to maintain consistent development progress.

Do I need GitHub CLI to manage automated epic workflows?

Yes, GitHub epic automation requires integration with GitHub CLI and local repository configuration. This integration maintains board state and manages the PR lifecycle to ensure sequential sub-task execution proceeds without manual intervention.

What is the best way to manage dependencies across multiple GitHub sub-issues?

Managing sub-issue dependencies is handled by orchestrating an assembly-line-style implementation pipeline. This ensures dependencies are respected and the project board remains updated automatically as each sub-task transitions.

Can I use automated workflows to coordinate PR lifecycle management across worktrees?

Yes, automated workflow orchestration coordinates the PR lifecycle across multiple worktrees. It executes sub-issues sequentially using a defined implementation workflow, pausing for user-gated decisions while maintaining autonomous task flow.

How do I start automating a complex feature rollout with epic sub-tasks?

To start automating a complex feature rollout, provide the issue number of the epic you wish to process. This invokes the automated assembly-line pipeline to coordinate multiple sub-tasks and ensure consistent development progress.

Why does automated project management pause between implementation steps?

Automated project management pauses between implementation steps to handle user-gated decisions and verification points. This ensures contextual alignment at the epic level without breaking the flow of autonomous sub-task execution.
