What it does

Breakdown Epic Pm is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Prompt for creating an Epic Product Requirements Document (PRD) for a new epic. This PRD will be used as input for generating a technical architecture specification.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/breakdown-epic-pm”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Epic Name
  2. Goal
  3. User Personas
  4. High-Level User Journeys
  5. Business Requirements
  6. Success Metrics
  7. Out of Scope
  8. Business Value

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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.

Context cost

Breakdown Epic Pm loads about 575 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~575

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.

Epic Product Requirements Document (PRD) Prompt

Goal

Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to translate high-level ideas into detailed Epic-level Product Requirements Documents (PRDs). These PRDs will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical architecture specification for the epic.

Review the user's request for a new epic and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the epic are well-defined.

Output Format

The output should be a complete Epic PRD in Markdown format, saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/epic.md.

PRD Structure
1. Epic Name
  • A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the epic.
2. Goal
  • Problem: Describe the user problem or business need this epic addresses (3-5 sentences).
  • Solution: Explain how this epic solves the problem at a high level.
  • Impact: What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, revenue)?
3. User Personas
  • Describe the target user(s) for this epic.
4. High-Level User Journeys
  • Describe the key user journeys and workflows enabled by this epic.
5. Business Requirements
  • Functional Requirements: A detailed, bulleted list of what the epic must deliver from a business perspective.
  • Non-Functional Requirements: A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).
6. Success Metrics
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the epic.
7. Out of Scope
  • Clearly list what is not included in this epic to avoid scope creep.
8. Business Value
  • Estimate the business value (e.g., High, Medium, Low) with a brief justification.

Context Template

  • Epic Idea: [A high-level description of the epic from the user]
  • Target Users: [Optional: Any initial thoughts on who this is for]
