SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the lack of visibility into long-horizon project health by automating the detection of stalled work, scope drift, and missing requirements within an epic.

Core Features & Use Cases

Stall Detection: Automatically identifies child issues that have been inactive beyond a configurable threshold.
Scope & Coverage Analysis: Uses LLM-based reasoning to classify child issues as on-theme, tangential, or off-theme, and identifies gaps in epic coverage.
Actionable Reporting: Generates a structured health report with specific, non-destructive command recommendations to resolve issues.

Quick Start

Run the review-epic skill on your target epic ID to generate a comprehensive health report and actionable cleanup recommendations.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit epic health and identify stalled tasks in project management?▼

To audit project epic health, you can analyze child issue status, activity logs, and thematic alignment to automatically detect stalled tasks, scope drift, and missing coverage areas within your epics.

How does scope drift detection work for tracking inactive epic issues?▼

Scope drift detection works by using LLM-based reasoning to classify child issues as on-theme, tangential, or off-theme, while automatically identifying any child issues that have been inactive beyond a configurable threshold.

Do I need local issue management CLI tools to track epic progress?▼

Yes, you need integration with local issue management CLI tools. The audit performs read-only status assessments and progress reporting on your issue tracking systems to generate a structured health report.

What is the best way to analyze epic coverage gaps and identify missing requirements?▼

The best way to analyze epic coverage gaps is to use automated thematic alignment classification on child issues, which identifies missing requirements and generates a structured health report with specific command recommendations to resolve them.

Can I get actionable recommendations to resolve scope drift without modifying my issue tracking system?▼

Yes, the audit generates a structured health report with specific, non-destructive command recommendations to resolve issues. It performs read-only status assessments, ensuring your issue tracking system is not modified during the project progress analysis.

Why does review-epic classify child issues as tangential or off-theme during an audit?▼

Review-epic classifies child issues as tangential or off-theme to identify scope drift within an epic. This thematic alignment analysis highlights work that deviates from the core epic goals, helping you maintain long-horizon project health.
