Create Epics

An epic is a named, bounded body of work that maps to one architectural module. It defines what needs to be built and who owns it architecturally. It does not prescribe implementation steps — that is the job of stories.

Run this skill once per layer as you approach that layer in development. Do not create Feature layer epics until Core is nearly complete — the design will have changed.

Output: production/epics/[epic-slug]/EPIC.md (prose) + a Backlog milestone (tracking) + production/epics/index.md (prose navigation map)

Next step after each epic: /gamedev:create-stories [epic-slug]

When to run: After /gamedev:create-control-manifest and /gamedev:architecture-review pass.
