Epic Refresh

Update epic progress based on task states.

Usage

/pm:epic-refresh <epic_name>

Instructions

1. Count Task Status

Scan all task files in .claude/epics/$ARGUMENTS/:

• Count total tasks
• Count tasks with status: closed
• Count tasks with status: open
• Count tasks with work in progress

2. Calculate Progress

progress = (closed_tasks / total_tasks) * 100

Round to nearest integer.

3. Update GitHub Task List

If epic has GitHub issue, sync task checkboxes:

# Get epic issue number from epic.md frontmatter
epic_issue={extract_from_github_field}

if [ ! -z "$epic_issue" ]; then
  # Get current epic body
  gh issue view $epic_issue --json body -q .body > /tmp/epic-body.md
  
  # For each task, check its status and update checkbox
  for task_file in .claude/epics/$ARGUMENTS/[0-9]*.md; do
    task_issue=$(grep 'github:' $task_file | grep -oE '[0-9]+$')
    task_status=$(grep 'status:' $task_file | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')
    
    if [ "$task_status" = "closed" ]; then
      # Mark as checked
      sed -i "s/- \[ \] #$task_issue/- [x] #$task_issue/" /tmp/epic-body.md
    else
      # Ensure unchecked (in case manually checked)
      sed -i "s/- \[x\] #$task_issue/- [ ] #$task_issue/" /tmp/epic-body.md
    fi
  done
  
  # Update epic issue
  gh issue edit $epic_issue --body-file /tmp/epic-body.md
fi

4. Determine Epic Status

• If progress = 0% and no work started: backlog
• If progress > 0% and < 100%: in-progress
• If progress = 100%: completed

5. Update Epic

Get current datetime: date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"

Update epic.md frontmatter:

status: {calculated_status}
progress: {calculated_progress}%
updated: {current_datetime}

6. Output

🔄 Epic refreshed: $ARGUMENTS

Tasks:
  Closed: {closed_count}
  Open: {open_count}
  Total: {total_count}
  
Progress: {old_progress}% → {new_progress}%
Status: {old_status} → {new_status}
GitHub: Task list updated ✓

{If complete}: Run /pm:epic-close $ARGUMENTS to close epic
