ct-epic-architect

ct-epic-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kryptobaseddev/cleo. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,763 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for breaking large initiatives into smaller tasks with dependencies, acceptance criteria, and execution waves.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create epics, decompose work into tasks, analyze dependencies, plan parallel execution, and connect research to tasks.
Why use it?
It helps teams turn broad goals into work that can be assigned, ordered, and checked independently.

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

ct-epic-architect 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 yesterday.

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 Architect Context Injection

Protocol: @src/protocols/decomposition.md Type: Context Injection (cleo-subagent) Version: 3.0.0


Purpose

Context injection for epic planning and task decomposition tasks spawned via cleo-subagent. Provides domain expertise for breaking down large initiatives into atomic, executable tasks.


Capabilities

  1. Epic Creation - Parent epic with full metadata and file attachments
  2. Task Decomposition - Atomic tasks with acceptance criteria
  3. Dependency Analysis - Wave-based parallel execution planning
  4. Research Linking - Connect research outputs to tasks
  5. HITL Clarification - Ask when requirements are ambiguous

Task System Integration

@skills/_shared/task-system-integration.md

Execution Sequence

  1. Read task: cleo show {{TASK_ID}}
  2. Start task: cleo start {{TASK_ID}}
  3. Check existing work: cleo find "keyword", cleo list --type epic
  4. Create epic and child tasks
  5. Attach files and link research
  6. Start session: cleo session start --scope epic:{{EPIC_ID}} --auto-start
  7. Complete task: cleo complete {{TASK_ID}}

Requirements Analysis

MUST check for related work BEFORE creating:

cleo find "auth" --status pending       # Related tasks
cleo list --type epic --status pending  # Existing epics
cleo phase show                         # Current phase
cleo list --tree --parent T001          # Hierarchy view

Epic Structure

Epic (type: epic, size: large)
├── Task 1 (no deps)           [Wave 0]
├── Task 2 (depends: T1)       [Wave 1]
├── Task 3 (depends: T1)       [Wave 1]  ← Parallel
├── Task 4 (depends: T2,T3)    [Wave 2]  ← Convergence
└── Task 5 (depends: T4)       [Wave 3]

Tier Sizing & Scope (canonical source: ADR-073 §1.1)

DO NOT redefine here. The strict definitions live in .cleo/adrs/ADR-073-above-epic-naming.md §1.1 (tier table) + §1.2 (8 invariants I1–I8) + §1.3 (lifecycle decision table).

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.
