epic-progress-report
Report on an epic or initiative deeper than a status bullet — child work broken down by status, the riskiest unfinished pieces, and honest suggested cuts to hit the date. Use when asked for an epic progress report, where are we on this initiative, break down epic status, or what can we cut to ship on time. Produces the completion picture by child status, the critical-path and riskiest remaining work, a scope-cut menu with impact, and a straight call on whether the target date is realistic.

# Epic Progress Report "Epic is 60% done" is the least useful sentence in delivery — 60% of what, and is the remaining 40% the easy part or the terrifying part? This breaks the epic into its child work by status, surfaces the pieces most likely to blow the date, and — instead of just reporting — offers a cut menu and an honest read on whether the deadline survives contact with reality. ## What This Skill Produces - **The completion picture** — child items grouped by status (done / in progress / not started / blocked), with what % and *which* work remains - **The riskiest remaining work** — the unfinished pieces most likely to slip (unknowns, dependencies, the hard 20%) - **The cut menu** — what could be descoped or deferred, and the impact of each cut - **The date call** — will it make the target as-is; if not, what has to give ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The epic & its children** — the stories/tasks under it and their statuses (a board export or list) - **The target date & goal** — what "done" means for this epic and when it's needed - **Dependencies & unknowns** — anything waiting on another team, or work that's still fuzzy - **Who it's for** — a standup

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
