FAQPage Schema
How do I automate completing all child issues within a GitHub EPIC?▼

To automate GitHub EPIC completion, provide an EPIC identifier (number, name, or URL) and the workflow iterates through actionable child issues, committing to main with tests until completion or blockage.

What happens when the automated EPIC workflow encounters a blocked child issue?▼

When a blocked child issue is encountered during EPIC automation, the workflow halts processing and stops iterating, ensuring no dependent issues are attempted before their blockers are resolved.

Does the automated EPIC workflow respect issue dependencies and sequencing?▼

Yes, the automated EPIC workflow respects dependencies and sequencing notes, enforcing strict validation gates before commits to ensure child issues are completed in the correct order.

Can I reference a GitHub EPIC by name or URL instead of just an issue number?▼

Yes, you can reference a GitHub EPIC by issue number, name, or direct GitHub URL; the workflow accepts all three identifier formats to start automating child issue completion.

What is the best way to ensure commits follow standard formatting during EPIC automation?▼

The best way to ensure standard commit formatting during EPIC automation is to use the built-in validation gates, which enforce standard commit formats and run tests after each completed child issue.

Do I need a specific repo-local workflow installed to automate end-to-end EPIC completion?▼

Yes, you need the repo-local work-next-issue-in-given-epic workflow installed, as the automation repeatedly invokes it to maintain consistency with project conventions while completing child issues.
