Skill: x-epic-create

Purpose

Generate a single Epic markdown artifact from an existing Feature artifact. This focused skill is the Product-First complement to x-create-feature: it materializes only the Feature → Epic step, preserving Source Feature, inheriting RNFs from the Product / Capability / Feature chain, and intentionally omitting sections 2, 4, and 8 of the generic epic template because that context is already owned upstream in the chain.

EPIC-0077 semantic reintroduction: x-epic-create was hard-cut in EPIC-0065 when the generic public epic generator moved behind x-internal-create-epic. It is reintroduced here with a narrower responsibility: Feature-derived epic generation only. It is not a legacy alias.

When to Use

• You already have a Feature artifact and need the derived Epic only
• You want Product-First traceability without generating stories/map in the same step
• You need a lightweight wrapper around x-internal-create-epic for Feature → Epic

Prerequisites

Read before starting:

• .claude/templates/_TEMPLATE-EPIC.md
• .claude/skills/planning-standards-kp/SKILL.md — mandatory RA9 source of truth
• .claude/skills/x-internal-create-epic/SKILL.md

If the feature source cannot be resolved, stop with a validation error.

Workflow

1. Resolve --from-feature:
   • if it is a file path, use it directly;
   • otherwise, resolve it by feature id under ai/**.
2. Resolve optional --capability-file and --product-file to enrich RNF inheritance.
3. Validate epic id (4 digits, default 0001).
4. Create ai/epics/epic-<ID>-<slug>/epic-<ID>.md.
5. Populate:
   • Source Feature
   • Source Feature Link
   • ## 0.6 Inherited RNFs
   • ## 1, ## 3, ## 5, ## 6, ## 7, ## 9
6. Do not render sections ## 2, ## 4, ## 8 for Feature-derived epics.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--from-feature <feature-file|feature-id>	Yes	Feature markdown source
--capability-file <path>	No	Capability markdown used to enrich inherited RNFs
--product-file <path>	No	Product markdown used to extend inherited RNFs
--epic-id <NNNN>	No	Epic identifier (default 0001)
--output-dir <path>	No	Base output dir (default ai/epics)
--dry-run	No	Validate inputs without writing files

Integration Notes

• x-create-feature remains the full orchestrator for Feature → Epic + Stories + Map.
• x-epic-create is the focused public wrapper for Feature → Epic only.
• The generation logic may delegate to x-internal-create-epic when orchestrated by another planning skill.
