SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decompose a broad goal into a sequence of executable sub-plans to enable structured planning and deterministic execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain research, dependency analysis, and scope sizing to produce a coherent meta-plan.
  • Delegation model: each phase delegates work to /draft-plan and /run-plan for execution.
  • Use Case: plan a complex research project by breaking it into independent, parallelizable sub-plans.

Quick Start

Provide a broad goal description and optional output path; the system will return a meta-plan file and sub-plan stubs.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-and-plan

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a complex project into executable sub-plans?▼

Goal decomposition breaks a broad project into executable sub-plans by analyzing domain dependencies and sizing the scope to generate a coherent meta-plan with a clear execution path.

What is the best way to plan a multi-phase research workflow?▼

Planning a multi-phase research workflow involves breaking the initiative into independent, parallelizable sub-plans where each phase delegates its execution to dedicated planning actions.

How does dependency analysis work when structuring a meta-plan?▼

Dependency analysis identifies relationships between project phases during decomposition, sizing the scope and ordering the sequence to produce a deterministic meta-plan for execution.

Can I generate parallelizable sub-plans for independent project phases?▼

Yes, you can generate parallelizable sub-plan stubs for independent phases by providing a broad goal description, allowing the system to output a structured meta-plan file for execution.

Do I need to provide an output path when breaking down a broad goal?▼

Providing an output path is optional when breaking down a broad goal, but supplying one ensures the system returns the generated meta-plan file and sub-plan stubs to your specified location.

When should I not use a meta-plan decomposition approach for project planning?▼

Meta-plan decomposition is not suited for simple, single-step tasks that lack distinct phases or dependencies, as the overhead of generating sub-plans outweighs the benefits of structured execution.
