create-epics

create-epics is a skill for Claude Code from bullish0x/GameStudio. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,296 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of create-epics, MIT.

A workflow for turning an approved game design and architecture into an epic, a bounded body of work owned by one architectural module. It defines the epic's scope, risks, and linked requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create epics for game systems or architectural layers before breaking each epic into developer stories.
Why use it?
It gives large development areas clear boundaries before they are split into individual stories. This helps teams work in dependency order and avoid planning work from incomplete designs.

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

create-epics 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

Create Epics

An epic is a named, bounded body of work that maps to one architectural module. It defines what needs to be built and who owns it architecturally. It does not prescribe implementation steps — that is the job of stories.

Run this skill once per layer as you approach that layer in development. Do not create Feature layer epics until Core is nearly complete — the design will have changed.

Output: production/epics/[epic-slug]/EPIC.md + production/epics/index.md

Next step after each epic: /create-stories [epic-slug]

When to run: After /create-control-manifest and /architecture-review pass.


1. Parse Arguments

Resolve the review mode (once, store for all gate spawns this run):

  1. If --review [full|lean|solo] was passed → use that
  2. Else read production/review-mode.txt → use that value
  3. Else → default to lean

See .agents/docs/director-gates.md for the full check pattern.

Modes:

  • /create-epics all — process all systems in layer order
  • /create-epics layer: foundation — Foundation layer only
  • /create-epics layer: core — Core layer only
  • /create-epics layer: feature — Feature layer only
  • /create-epics layer: presentation — Presentation layer only
  • /create-epics [system-name] — one specific system
  • No argument — ask: "Which layer or system would you like to create epics for?"

2. Load Inputs

Step 2a — Summary scan (fast)

Grep all GDDs for their ## Summary sections before reading anything fully:

Grep pattern="## Summary" glob="design/gdd/*.md" output_mode="content" -A 5

For layer: or [system-name] modes: filter to only in-scope GDDs based on the Summary quick-reference. Skip full-reading anything out of scope.

Step 2b — Full document load (in-scope systems only)

Using the Step 2a grep results, identify which systems are in scope. Read full documents only for in-scope systems — do not read GDDs or ADRs for out-of-scope systems or layers.

Read for in-scope systems:
