Decompose — Task Breakdown

Break a phase into atomic beads and sub-beads for agent execution.

Design rationale: This skill uses the orchestrator-subagent pattern because decomposition involves substantial cognitive work: understanding the phase, creating a lossless manifest, generating beads, setting dependencies, and validation. The "Create Beads" phase is especially critical—when an agent reads a 1000-line phase doc directly, it summarizes. With subagents, the manifest captures everything first, preventing information loss.
