epic

epic is a command for Claude Code from ChrisMckerracher/claude-dream-team. It costs 30 tokens per session (842 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts a coordinated workflow for delivering a feature from product planning through technical design, implementation, review, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize an end-to-end feature effort, create a team and task list, produce product and architecture documents, coordinate implementation, and run review and quality checks.
Why use it?
It gives a feature a defined sequence of work and assigns planning tasks to specialist agents. It also asks for missing product or technical details when the request is unclear.

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 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 10d 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.

Epic Workflow

You are starting an Epic workflow with the Dream Team. Follow these steps precisely.

Step 1: Understand the Request

Read the user's input carefully. If the request is vague, ask clarifying questions using AskUserQuestion before proceeding:

  • What is the desired outcome?
  • Who is the target user?
  • Are there technical constraints?
  • Is there UI/UX work involved?

Step 2: Set Up the Team

  1. Create a team using TeamCreate:

    • Team name: epic-{short-slug} (derived from the feature name)
    • Description: Brief description of the epic
  2. Create the initial task list using TaskCreate:

    • Task 1: "Product brief and feature files" (assign to Product agent)
    • Task 2: "Technical design document" (assign to Architect agent)
    • Task 3: "Review planning docs" (assign to yourself - Team Lead)
    • If UI work involved: Task 4: "Design system scan and design spec" (assign to UI/UX Designer)

Step 3: Planning Phase

  1. Determine if Product and Architect can work in parallel:

    • Parallel: If the epic is well-defined and both can work independently
    • Sequential: If Product needs to define scope before Architect can design
  2. Spawn agents using the Task tool:

    • Product agent (dream-team:product): Provide the user's request and ask for product brief + .feature files
    • Architect agent (dream-team:architect): Provide the request and ask for technical design doc
    • Tell both agents to communicate with each other via SendMessage
  3. Wait for both to complete. Review their output together.

  4. If you have feedback:

    • Send specific notes to the relevant agent via SendMessage
    • Wait for revisions
    • Repeat until satisfied
  5. If UI/UX work is involved:

    • Spawn UI/UX Designer agent (dream-team:ui-ux-designer)
    • Have them scan the existing codebase for design patterns
    • Have them create design specs for the new UI elements

Step 4: User Review Gate

Notify the user:

  • "The planning phase is complete. Here's a summary of the plan:"
  • Present a concise summary of Product brief, Technical design, and Design spec (if applicable)
  • Ask the user to review and approve before proceeding
  • This is a blocker - do not proceed without user approval

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.
