SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decomposes a spec or architecture into buildable tasks with acceptance criteria, dependencies, and risk-first implementation order, creating a concrete, auditable execution plan for AI agents or human engineers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposes a spec into vertical, independently shippable tasks with stable IDs and explicit dependencies.
  • Applies risk-first ordering to surface high-risk work early and enable parallel work where possible.
  • Outputs docs/forsvn/artifacts/meta/tasks.md as the canonical artifact for execution planning.

Quick Start

Provide a spec or architecture to decompose and run the breakdown-tasks skill to generate docs/forsvn/artifacts/meta/tasks.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about breakdown-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a software spec into executable tasks with dependencies?

Task breakdown transforms a spec or architecture into vertical, independently shippable tasks with stable IDs, explicit dependencies, and acceptance criteria for reliable delivery.

What is risk-first ordering in task decomposition?

Risk-first ordering surfaces high-risk work early in task decomposition, enabling parallel work where possible and ensuring reliable delivery by resolving uncertainties before execution.

How do I generate an execution plan for AI agents from an architecture spec?

Provide the architecture spec to a breakdown tool to generate a canonical tasks.md artifact, creating a concrete, auditable execution plan with dependencies for AI agents.

Can I use task breakdown output for both human engineers and AI agents?

Yes, task decomposition produces a canonical execution plan artifact with clear acceptance criteria and stable IDs, supporting both human engineers and AI agents during implementation.

How do hidden dependencies surface during spec decomposition?

A dependency mapper surfaces hidden dependencies during spec decomposition by analyzing the architecture, ensuring tasks are correctly sequenced with explicit dependency tracking.

What format does task decomposition output for execution planning?

Task decomposition outputs a canonical tasks.md file located in the docs/forsvn/artifacts/meta/ directory, serving as the concrete, auditable execution plan for implementation.
