A workflow guide for delivering a large feature made up of several related work items. It organises a parent task and smaller child tasks on a shared integration branch, a temporary branch where dependent changes are combined before reaching the main code line.

Use it to plan multi-ticket features whose parts must be developed together. It can create and track parent and child items through Linear, GitHub, or a local state file, depending on project settings.

It keeps the main code line from being temporarily broken when one child task depends on another unfinished task. Each child change can still be reviewed separately before the whole feature is combined.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00118	$0.06592
Opus 5.5	$0.00047	$0.02637
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00024	$0.01318
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00659

Security

Grade A, and why

rig-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 1mo 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 — 420 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

rig-epic — integration-branch workflow

For multi-item arcs where landing each item directly on the trunk would temporarily break the runtime contract, stack child PRs on a shared integration branch and squash that branch into the trunk as one PR at the end. Each child PR is reviewed as the step it actually is; the trunk-bound delivery is one squashed rebase.

Configuration

Reads .rig/config.json (defaults in parentheses):

tracker.provider — linear | github | none (none). How parent/child items are stored. none → items live only in the epic run state (below); no tracker calls.
tracker.team / tracker.project / tracker.ticketPrefix / tracker.githubIntegration.
tracker.shapeLabels.epic (epic) — GitHub-only label put on the parent at creation so a Project board / dispatcher can distinguish the epic from child feature issues. Omit shapeLabels to skip.
tracker.board — GitHub Projects v2 identity. When set, the parent's board transitions and each child's Done move go through the rig-tracker adapter (gh issue edit can't touch a ProjectV2 Status field). Resolver used below: <TRACKER> = .rig/rig-tracker if executable else <RIG_DIR>/scripts/rig-tracker.sh (see docs/tracker-adapter.md). Absent → skip the board moves; the linear/none paths are unchanged.
vcs.baseRef (origin/main), vcs.defaultBranch (main), vcs.protectedBranchMergeQueue (false).
sourceScope[0] — where to explore during plan.
agents.architect / agents.reviewer (default rig-<role>) — for the fresh-context review panel.
style.guideFile (.claude/STYLE.md) — how parent/child ticket bodies, the finish PR body, and every status report are written.

Delegates to /rig-task (per child), /rig-worktree (checkouts), /rig-review

/rig-review fix (the combined-diff review), /rig-tidy (optional).

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.
