What I do
- Create comprehensive epics using beads hierarchical task structure
- Break large features into manageable tasks and sub-tasks
- Maintain epic progress tracking and completion metrics
- Provide epic-level reporting and milestone tracking
- Handle epic dependencies and cross-team coordination
When to use me
Use when you need to:
- Create epics for large feature sets or product areas
- Break down complex features into hierarchical task structures
- Track progress across multiple related tasks
- Manage cross-functional epics involving multiple teams
- Plan long-term feature development with proper hierarchy
- Coordinate epic releases and milestone completion
How I work
- Epic Definition - Define epic scope, objectives, and success criteria
- Hierarchical Breakdown - Create bead-style task hierarchy (epic → task → sub-task)
- Task Assignment - Assign tasks to team members and time periods
- Dependency Management - Handle cross-task and cross-epic dependencies
- Progress Tracking - Monitor epic completion and milestone progress
- Resource Planning - Optimize team allocation across epic tasks
- Milestone Integration - Connect epic progress to project milestones
What I need
- Feature requirements or product objectives
- Team composition and availability information
- Timeline and milestone requirements
- Existing tasks or epic definitions
- Cross-team coordination requirements
- Resource constraints and dependencies
What I produce
Comprehensive epic management outputs:
- Epic Structure - Complete hierarchical task breakdown with bead IDs
- Task Hierarchies - Epic → Tasks → Sub-tasks with proper relationships
- Progress Tracking - Epic-level progress metrics and completion status
- Milestone Alignment - Epic tasks mapped to project milestones
- Resource Planning - Team assignments optimized for epic execution
- Dependency Maps - Cross-epic dependency visualization
- Risk Assessment - Epic-level risk identification and mitigation
- Reporting Dashboards - Epic progress and team performance metrics
- Release Planning - Epic completion timing and release coordination
Usage Example
"Create an epic for user authentication with proper task hierarchy and team assignments"
This will generate a complete epic with hierarchical tasks, team assignments, and progress tracking using beads structure.
Epic Management Features
- Hierarchical Structure - Epic ID → Task ID → Sub-task ID with bead naming

- Team Coordination - Multi-team epic management with clear ownership
- Milestone Tracking - Epic completion tied to project milestones
- Dependency Management - Cross-epic dependencies and blockers
- Resource Optimization - Team allocation across epic task hierarchy
- Risk Assessment - Epic-level risk identification and mitigation
- Release Planning - Coordinated epic release timing and dependencies
- Reporting Integration - Epic dashboards and stakeholder communication
