Epic Generation
Transform PRD into a technical implementation plan with architecture decisions and dependency mapping.
Best use case
Epic Generation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Transform PRD into a technical implementation plan with architecture decisions and dependency mapping.
Teams using Epic Generation should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Epic Generation Transform PRD into a technical implementation plan with architecture decisions and dependency mapping. ## Agent Architect - `architect` ## Workflow 1. Parse PRD and extract structured requirements 2. Define architecture decisions with ADR format 3. Specify technology approach and stack choices 4. Map internal, external, and cross-team dependencies 5. Assemble complete epic document 6. Validate epic covers all PRD requirements ## Inputs - `projectName` - Project name - `featureName` - Feature identifier - `prd` - Finalized PRD from Phase 1 - `existingCodebase` - Codebase analysis for brownfield (optional) ## Outputs - Epic document with architecture, tech approach, dependencies - Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) - Dependency graph - Validation report ## Process Files - `ccpm-epic-planning.js` - Standalone epic planning - `ccpm-orchestrator.js` - Phase 2 of full lifecycle
