Epic Run

Execute a previously planned epic by replaying the committed epic-kickoff artifact through the epic-orchestrator agent. Use after /epic-plan has prepared the epic (issues, folders, research, specs, atomic plans, preflight clearance) and the user is ready to execute end-to-end.

File contents

Epic Run Skill

A user invocation (/epic-run <epic-slug>) forks the epic-orchestrator agent to execute an epic that epic-planner has already prepared. The epic slug (or a path under docs/features/epics/) for this run is:

$ARGUMENTS

Procedure

Resolve the epic home. A bare slug resolves to docs/features/epics/<epic-slug>/; a path argument resolves to its containing epic folder.
Read the committed kickoff artifact at docs/features/epics/<epic-slug>/epic-kickoff.md.
- If the file does not exist, STOP without delegating anything and report that the epic has no committed kickoff artifact: the user must run /epic-plan first (or, for an epic that was authored manually, invoke /epic-orchestrate <epic-manifest-path> directly).
Execute the kickoff artifact's ## Invocation Prompt section as the epic objective, applying the epic-orchestrate skill procedure and the ## Prepared-Epic Execution (epic-planner Handoff) section of .claude/agents/epic-orchestrator.md: reuse the existing integration branch, and have each child Agent(orchestrator) delegation resume at atomic execution from its committed plan-path rather than re-running promotion, research, or planning.
Honor existing checkpoint state: if artifacts/orchestration/epic-orchestrator-state.json already tracks this epic, resume per the epic-orchestrate skill's resume procedure instead of restarting.

Scope

This skill adds no procedure of its own beyond kickoff-artifact resolution; wave scheduling, the wave barrier, merge-on-green fan-in, worktree cleanup, epic-status.md maintenance, and the final integration-to-main PR are governed entirely by the epic-orchestrate skill.
