Spec-to-task decomposition is the process of breaking down a reviewed SPEC.md into atomic tasks with clear acceptance criteria. It produces a dependency-aware TASK-PLAN.md and a dependency graph for scheduling, ensuring traceability back to the source specification.

To break down a specification into atomic tasks, generate a TASK-PLAN.md that documents phases, groups, and individual tasks. This includes a dependency graph for scheduling and maps each task's acceptance criteria directly to sections within the SPEC.md for full traceability.

Setting up deterministic implementation handoffs for AI agents requires generating CLAUDE.md directives and an AGENTS.md file from your reviewed specification. These artifacts define guarded handoffs, enabling implementation agents to execute the generated task plan deterministically.

Yes, a reviewed SPEC.md is required to generate a task plan. The decomposition process relies on the reviewed specification to map each atomic task's acceptance criteria back to specific sections, ensuring full traceability and accurate dependency analysis.

Yes, traceability is maintained by mapping each generated atomic task and its acceptance criteria directly to corresponding sections of the SPEC.md. This ensures that every phase and group in the TASK-PLAN.md traces accurately back to the source specification.
