Task Decomposition Skill

"A complex task is just a series of simple tasks that haven't been broken down yet."

Goal

Transform a Technical Specification (SPEC.md) or Implementation Plan (PLAN.md) into a flat, ordered list of atomic tasks in project/TASKS.md.

The 15-Minute Rule

Every task must be achievable in approximately 15 minutes by an AI agent.

• If a task feels like it will take an hour → decompose it.
• If a task covers two different files → decompose it.
• If a task has "and" in the description → decompose it.

Steps

1. Load Context

• Read the latest PRD.md, PLAN.md, and SPEC.md.
• Read existing project/TASKS.md (if any) to avoid duplication.
