  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by github on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Breakdown Epic Pm AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/skills/breakdown-epic-pm
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot.git /tmp/awesome-copilot
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot/skills/breakdown-epic-pm .claude/skills/breakdown-epic-pm
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Breakdown Epic Pm in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Breakdown Epic Pm on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Breakdown Epic Pm is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Epic Product Requirements Document (PRD) Prompt

Goal

Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to translate high-level ideas into detailed Epic-level Product Requirements Documents (PRDs). These PRDs will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical architecture specification for the epic.

Review the user's request for a new epic and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the epic are well-defined.

Output Format

The output should be a complete Epic PRD in Markdown format, saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/epic.md.

PRD Structure

1. Epic Name
  • A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the epic.
2. Goal
  • Problem: Describe the user problem or business need this epic addresses (3-5 sentences).
  • Solution: Explain how this epic solves the problem at a high level.
  • Impact: What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, revenue)?
3. User Personas
  • Describe the target user(s) for this epic.
4. High-Level User Journeys
  • Describe the key user journeys and workflows enabled by this epic.
5. Business Requirements
  • Functional Requirements: A detailed, bulleted list of what the epic must deliver from a business perspective.
  • Non-Functional Requirements: A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).
6. Success Metrics
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the epic.
7. Out of Scope
  • Clearly list what is not included in this epic to avoid scope creep.
8. Business Value
  • Estimate the business value (e.g., High, Medium, Low) with a brief justification.

Context Template

  • Epic Idea: [A high-level description of the epic from the user]
  • Target Users: [Optional: Any initial thoughts on who this is for]

Frequently asked questions

What does the Breakdown Epic Pm AI skill do?

Prompt for creating an Epic Product Requirements Document (PRD) for a new epic. This PRD will be used as input for generating a technical architecture specification.

Why use Breakdown Epic Pm on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Breakdown Epic Pm is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Breakdown Epic Pm in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/skills/breakdown-epic-pm. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Breakdown Epic Pm?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Breakdown Epic Pm?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Breakdown Epic Pm with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Breakdown Epic Pm AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by github under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
