kata-decompose-issue-into-plans

What problem does it solve?

It prevents slow, unclear execution by converting a single parent GitHub Issue (story, bug, or task) into multiple smaller, actionable plan sub-issues with explicit dependencies and guardrails.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Issue validation before decomposition: Confirms the parent Issue is well-formed, open, and compatible before creating any sub-issues.
• Strategy-driven planning: Infers or applies a decomposition strategy (by layers, endpoints, workflow phases, bounded contexts, or dependencies) to produce an effective split.
• Dependency-aware plan creation: Generates N plan sub-issues by invoking plan-task for each confirmed Plan draft and records dependencies to enable correct todo→development sequencing.
• Safety checks and non-transactional recovery: Avoids decomposition without confirmation, checks for existing sub-issues, and reports partial progress if an invocation fails.

Quick Start

Use the kata-decompose-issue-into-plans skill for issue number 200 in the design-system repository to produce plan sub-issues ready for Athena to execute.
