Task Decomposition

Overview

Task decomposition breaks complex tasks into manageable, well-defined subtasks with clear dependencies, effort estimates, and parallelization opportunities. It covers hierarchical work breakdown structures (WBS), dependency graph construction, critical path analysis, task sizing, and identification of concurrent execution opportunities. Essential for planning multi-step implementations, project estimation, and autonomous loop task selection.

Announce at start: "I'm using the task-decomposition skill to break this work into a structured hierarchy with dependencies and estimates."

Trigger Conditions

  • Complex task needs to be broken into subtasks
  • Dependency mapping is needed between work items
  • Effort estimation is required for planning
  • Parallelization opportunities need to be identified
  • /decompose command invoked
  • Transition from planning skill for complex plans
  • Autonomous loop needs task selection guidance
