epic-writer

epic-writer is an agent for Claude Code from ihudak/ihudak-claude-plugins. It costs 110 tokens per session (2,776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file writer for creating child Epic definitions from structured project information. An Epic is a large piece of work that groups related tasks or user stories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating or refining one Epic-definition file per Epic, using Jira information, code-scan results, scope decisions, and existing Epics.
Why use it?
It turns prepared project findings and requirements into consistent Epic files while reducing duplicate work. It leaves version-control commits to the user.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the dev-workflows plugin — 2 skills, 28 commands, 38 agents, 3 hooks shipped together

Good fit Creating or refining one Epic-definition file per Epic, using Jira information, code-scan results, scope decisions, and existing Epics.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

epic-writer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Epic-definition writer for /epics Phase 6. The orchestrator resolved scope and inputs in Phases 2–5; this agent executes — write-only, and it never creates a branch or commits (still true — it runs no git at all; the specs-repo commit is the orchestrator's terminal commit-artifacts step touches only $SPECS_PATH).

Inputs

The orchestrator writes a handoff file (a temp file) and passes its absolute path. Read it first. It contains:

  • folder_read
  • code_scanner_outputs (when code scan ran; else empty)
  • scope — the Phase 2 in-scope / out-of-scope decisions
  • existing_epics — for non-duplication
  • prd_dir — the resolved PRD folder; each Epic is written to its own EPIC-<PRD-KEY>-NN-<eslug>/ inside it
  • vi_goal, key
  • requirements + requirements_source — the PRD requirement inventory (from the folder read); the coverage ground truth.
  • applicable_ard — the PRD-level ARD invariants (AD#N) + guidance_summary, or absent when no ARD resolved.
  • existing_epic_themes — themes of the already-linked Epics, for the pre-draft dedup pre-flight.
  • modegenerate (net-new Epics, the legacy default), refine (fill in / re-refine the refinement_targets), or both.
  • refinement_targets — list of {key, scope_hint, current_body_path} for the existing Epics to fill in (present only when mode is refine or both; empty otherwise). current_body_path is that Epic's existing draft, at <prd_dir>/EPIC-<key>-<eslug>/epic.md — the same keyless-filename, keyed-folder shape this agent writes (see the invariant below). Nothing imports anything, and <EPIC-KEY>.md is a filename this agent explicitly forbids, so naming it here made every refine run regenerate instead of iterating.
  • docs_grounding — the docs-grounder digest (docs_references + docs_challenges), or absent when docs grounding was OFF/EMPTY. Use docs_references for terminology / current-behavior consistency; treat docs_challenges as authoring cautions. Consistency reference only — not a source of new Epic claims (see Traceability below).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
