012-agile-epic

Guides the creation of agile epics with comprehensive definition including business value, success criteria, and breakdown into user stories. Use when the user wants to create an agile epic, define large bodies of work, break down features into user stories, or document strategic initiatives. This should trigger for requests such as Create an agile epic; Write an epic; I need to create an epic; Define an epic; Epic definition. Part of Plinth Toolkit

Quality

Content

70%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured instructional skill with clear sequencing and good progressive disclosure, but it carries some redundancy between the Constraints, When-to-use, and Workflow sections and externalizes the core actionable detail to the reference.

Suggestions

Remove the 'When to use this skill' section or replace it with a pointer, since its trigger phrases duplicate the frontmatter description.

Consolidate the date-gathering and question-ordering instructions so they appear once rather than being repeated across the Constraints and Workflow step 0/1.

Inline a minimal example of the epic document structure or one sample question so the body is actionable without forcing a read of the reference.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient, but the 'When to use' section duplicates the frontmatter triggers and the Constraints repeat the date-gathering and question-ordering instructions already stated in the Workflow, which could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

It gives some concrete guidance (run `date`, include named sections scope/value/features/dependencies/risks/success criteria) but the actual question template wording and document structure—the key executable detail—are externalized to the reference rather than shown.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps 0–3 are clearly sequenced with explicit checkpoints—'Wait for user response after each question or block', 'strict order', 'Do not skip or reorder required questions'—matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview with a single well-signaled, one-level-deep reference ('see references/012-agile-epic.md'), and that referenced file exists, so content is appropriately split.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly states capabilities and provides explicit natural-language triggers. It uses appropriate third-person voice and is well-distinguished from other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions—'comprehensive definition including business value, success criteria, and breakdown into user stories'—matching the score-3 anchor for several specific actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' (guides creation of agile epics with comprehensive definition) and 'when' ('Use when the user wants...This should trigger for requests such as...'), satisfying the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

It enumerates natural phrases users would say ('Create an agile epic; Write an epic; I need to create an epic; Define an epic; Epic definition'), giving good coverage of common variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The agile-epic niche is clearly scoped with distinct triggers and third-person voice, making overlap with other skills unlikely.
