SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates end-to-end epic execution from planning to closing across multiple stories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Chains the /epic-start, /develop, and /epic-close skills into a single session.
  • Provides session recovery, progress tracking, and a retryable workflow for stories.
  • Handles risk controls like promotion gates and durable state across restarts.

Quick Start

Initiate an autonomous epic run by providing an epic description or issue numbers, and the system will execute planning, development, and closing phases in order and report progress.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate end-to-end epic execution across multiple stories in GitHub Actions?

You can automate end-to-end epic execution by initiating an autonomous run with an epic description or issue numbers, which orchestrates planning, development, and closing phases in sequence while tracking progress in a session TaskList.

How does workflow automation handle session recovery for incomplete epic management?

Workflow automation handles session recovery by preserving durable state across restarts, allowing the epic execution process to recover and retry stories without losing progress if the session is interrupted.

Can I enforce promotion gates for beta releases during CI CD workflow automation?

Yes, you can enforce promotion gates during CI CD workflow automation by restricting code promotion to the main branch until the beta phase is reached, ensuring risk controls are maintained across all stories.

What is the best way to manage phase delegation for product management epics?

The best way to manage phase delegation for product management epics is to use an orchestration system that automatically delegates planning, development, and closing phases to corresponding sub-skills in a sequential workflow.

Does epic orchestration support retryable workflows for individual story development?

Yes, epic orchestration supports retryable workflows by maintaining a session TaskList and handling retries for individual stories, ensuring each story is developed, tested, merged, and closed successfully before proceeding.

What are the limitations of autonomous epic runs in issue-tracking workflow automation?

Autonomous epic runs require a complete epic session to function properly, meaning they are not suited for isolated single-story tasks and depend on sequential phase progression with promotion gates before reaching the main branch.
