Shape a product idea into a fully-defined, buildable epic. Composable phases from problem statement through epic definition, design (a UI prototype, an architecture PR, or both), slice planning, test creation, build guide, and a tech lead handoff prompt attached to the epic. Can enter at any phase depending on what already exists. Use when user wants to go from idea to implementation-ready epic.
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
# Shape Epic Turn a product idea into a fully-defined, buildable epic with its design (a UI prototype, an architecture or design-doc PR, or both), ordered slices, test scenarios, a visual build guide, and a tech lead prompt that hands the epic to developer agents. ## Trigger - `/shape-epic` — auto-detect what exists, resume from there - `/shape-epic PROJ-XXXX` — shape an existing epic - `/shape-epic problem` — start from problem analysis - `/shape-epic design` (or `prototype`) — design an existing epic: a UI prototype, an architecture PR, or both - `/shape-epic slices` — plan slices for an epic that has its design - `/shape-epic tests` — create test scenarios for existing slices - `/shape-epic guide` — generate the build guide from existing slices and tests - `/shape-epic handoff` — write the tech lead prompt and attach it to the epic ## Team config **First, load the team config with `roost-config`.** The tracker and its project are in `tracker` (its adapter says how keys look), the design system is `design`, the repos the tech lead reads are `repos`, and the roadmap question uses `roadmap`. ## Rules for every phase …

How to install
mdr add beakpoint-insights/roost/shape-epic@sha256:be7445236e0062a1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.505a1da, 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.
