Plan and run a multi-ticket epic: decompose a feature into parent + child items and stack PRs on a shared integration branch instead of landing each on main. Use when children interleave (one item's runtime contract depends on another's incomplete state) — stacking keeps each child PR reviewable without temporarily breaking main, then squashes to main once. Triggers on: 'epic', 'plan epic', 'plan this as an epic', 'break this into an epic', 'start epic', 'integration branch', 'stack PRs', 'finish epic'.

From the source SKILL.md

For multi-item arcs where landing each item directly on the trunk would temporarily break the runtime contract, stack child PRs on a shared integration branch and squash that branch into the trunk as one PR at the end. Each child PR is reviewed as the step it actually is; the trunk-bound delivery is one squashed rebase.

What this skill does

Rig Epic is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the integrations sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/rig-epic/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
