SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams and engineers keep track of complex multi-story epics by reading a GitHub "[Epic]" tracker issue, computing a dependency graph, and surfacing the next ready work across waves. It reconciles live GitHub issue states with active Kubernetes jobs to give a real-time view of progress and blockers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Live epic dashboard: renders a wave-by-wave view of stories, blockers, and statuses based on GitHub and Kubernetes state.
Automatic planning assists: suggests which stories are ready to dispatch and how many can run in parallel.
Epics maintenance: supports adding a new story to the tracker by number, auto-detecting the story title and computing its wave and blockers.

Quick Start

Run the epic-manager tool with a tracker number to view the live epic dashboard.

FAQPage Schema

How do I track epic dependencies across GitHub issues and Kubernetes jobs?▼

Track epic dependencies by parsing a GitHub tracker issue body to derive a dynamic dependency graph. This reconciles live GitHub issue states with active Kubernetes jobs to surface real-time progress and blockers across story waves.

How do I visualize epic blockers and ready-to-dispatch stories on a dashboard?▼

Visualize epic blockers by rendering a wave-by-wave dashboard view of stories and statuses. It queries GitHub and Kubernetes state to print a dashboard summary with dispatch suggestions for ready work.

Can I add a new story to a GitHub epic tracker and automatically detect its blockers?▼

Add a new story to the GitHub tracker by issue number to auto-detect the story title and compute its wave and blockers. This maintains the epic dependency graph without manual recalculation.

Does the epic dashboard support checking parallel story execution limits?▼

The epic dashboard supports checking parallel execution by suggesting how many ready stories can run in parallel. It computes story readiness based on live GitHub and Kubernetes states per wave.
