epic-generation

epic-generation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from a5c-ai/babysitter. It costs 0 tokens per session (276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow that turns a product requirements document, or PRD, into a detailed technical plan for building the feature. It records architecture decisions and maps dependencies between systems and teams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an architecture and technology plan, write Architecture Decision Records, build a dependency graph, and plan work for either a new or existing codebase.
Why use it?
It connects product requirements to implementation choices, making it easier to see how a feature should be built and what it depends on. Validation checks whether the plan covers the stated requirements.

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-generation 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

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
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
