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.
