What it does

Generate Epics is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Translate product intent or a PRD into a small set of outcome-driven Epics (3–7 max). Activate when starting a new product, adding a significant feature domain, or breaking down a PRD into actionable user outcomes.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve User stories
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/generate-epics”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the Epic template at contexts/artefacts/epics/_template.epic.md before writing any Epic file.
  2. Think in user outcomes, not features
  3. Keep Epics high-level and value-focused
  4. Avoid implementation detail
  5. Limit to 3–7 Epics maximum
  6. For each Epic, answer: "What meaningful user result will this create?"
  7. Set domain based on the Epic's primary intent (e.g., engineering, marketing, legal). Leave empty if not applicable.
  8. Output using the canonical Epic template

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Generate Epics loads about 963 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~963

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
