task-path-optimization

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents wasted effort by helping you select the right execution approach (or switch to a fresh one) before implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Plan-vs-act decision gate: Quickly choose between acting immediately, using a lightweight plan, exploring first, or escalating to a more structured flow.
• Agent architecture selection: Match the task shape to an approach such as routing, parallelization, orchestrator-worker, or evaluator-optimizer.
• Scope and critical-path control: Reduce scope creep, decide what can run concurrently, and prioritize the riskiest parts of the dependency chain.
• Context budget awareness & recovery: Use context-efficient exploration patterns and switch strategies cleanly after repeated failures.

Quick Start

Use this skill to decide how to approach a task when you are unsure whether to plan, explore, parallelize, or restart with a fresh strategy after failures.
