Agile Feature Generator

Split epics into detailed feature documents with scope and acceptance criteria.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/013-agile-feature-jabrena/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

When Claude uses it

Guides the creation of detailed agile feature documentation from an existing epic. Use when the user wants to split an epic into feature files, derive features with scope and acceptance criteria, or plan feature documentation for stakeholders or engineering. This should trigger for requests such as Create features from an epic; Split epic into features; Feature files from epic; Derive features from epic. Part of cursor-rules-java project

What this skill does

Create Agile Features from an Epic

Guide the agent to analyze an epic (from file path or pasted content), hold a structured conversation, and generate one Markdown feature document per agreed feature. This is an interactive SKILL.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Epic intake: path or pasted content, confirmation of epic summary
  • Feature scope: which features to document, technical vs high-level depth
  • Audience and content mix: stakeholders vs engineering, functional vs technical emphasis
  • File organization: naming convention and output location
  • Per-feature refinement: user story links or suggestions, dependencies, success metrics
  • Optional timeline, release constraints, risks, and technical challenges
  • Date handling via date for Created/Last Updated fields

Constraints

Read the epic before summarizing. Ask questions in order; repeat questions 9–11 for each identified feature. Use the feature template and user-provided naming and paths.

  • MANDATORY: Get current date using terminal command before generating feature files
  • MUST: Read epic content from path or use pasted content—do not invent epic details
  • MUST: Use exact wording from the questions template for numbered questions
  • MUST: Repeat per-feature questions (9–11) for every feature in scope
  • MUST: Wait for user responses before proceeding through the flow

When to use this skill

  • Create features from an epic
  • Split epic into features
  • Feature files from epic
  • Derive features from epic

Workflow

  1. Get current date

Run date before generation and use that value for all date placeholders in feature documents.

  1. Analyze epic and gather feature details

Read epic content from file path or pasted input, summarize it for confirmation, then ask the template questions in order.

Step constraints:

  • Use exact wording from the numbered template questions
  • Repeat per-feature questions (9-11) for every identified feature
  1. Generate one document per feature

Create one Markdown feature file per agreed feature, honoring user-defined naming, output path, audience/depth preferences, and per-feature inputs.

  1. Close with integration guidance

Provide next steps for prioritization, breakdown into user stories, and alignment with epic goals and dependencies.
