task-segmentation

Task segmentation automatically divides broad tasks into granular, actionable subtasks. The skill applies a minimum of three subtasks with 1-2 hour granularity, ensuring each step is executable independently and can be assigned to team members in parallel.

Segment tasks during creation or when moving to In Progress, especially for vague tasks, oversized work, or anything estimated over 30 minutes. Proper segmentation prevents bottlenecks and enables distributed work execution.

Organize subtasks with 2-space indentation, no deeper nesting, under existing sections to preserve workflow structure. This formatting ensures clarity, prevents confusion, and aligns handoff documentation for workers.

Enforce a minimum of three subtasks per task. This threshold balances work distribution and granularity, making tasks small enough for parallel execution while maintaining meaningful scope.

Yes. Apply segmentation during new task creation or when moving a task to In Progress status. Refactoring existing tasks into finer subtasks improves work distribution and execution clarity mid-workflow.
