Orchestrate an idea, documents, or Jira ticket into a shaped epic and ordered slices, with resumable progress and an HTML dashboard. Use for the full shaping-to-slicing workflow and its revisions; individual slice implementation remains a separate implement run.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Drive the Epic

Act as a thin orchestrator: source intake → `shape-the-epic` → full-epic review → `slice-the-epic` → prepared handoff. The existing skills own their stage reasoning. This phase prepares work; it does not dispatch `implement`, edit implementation code, or claim delivery. The saved handoff anticipates a later phase coordinating sequential and parallel `implement` runs.

## Usage

```text
/make-it-work:drive-the-epic <idea | document paths | Jira key or URL> [--autopilot]
/make-it-work:drive-the-epic --resume <run-folder> [additional context]
```

Inputs may be combined. Strip flags before resolving source paths or Jira references. Interactive is the default; `--autopilot` selects unattended stage behavior and always stays local, even if the source is a Jira ticket. Resume retains the saved mode; do not infer a change from a missing flag.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add insideout-ai/make-it-work/drive-the-epic@sha256:5bf2c3539f88deaf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.f09241c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
