work-decompose

To decompose a project goal, this Skill analyzes the group's scope, boundaries, and interfaces to generate structured work definitions with dependency graphs and acceptance criteria. It outputs WD-*.md files under the .work/<group-slug>/ directory.

Dependency graph generation works by identifying artifact dependencies and interface contracts within a work group, then structuring the work definitions to enforce correct execution ordering. This ensures tasks are planned and executed in the proper sequence.

Yes, you can use this to bootstrap planning for an existing /work structure. After creating a work group with /work "<goal>", run /work-decompose "<group-slug>" to automatically generate the initial work definitions.

The best way to identify boundaries and interfaces for work planning is to analyze the work group's scope automatically. This approach delineates natural task limits and maps interface contracts to produce a structured plan of work definitions.

No dependencies are required to generate work definition markdown files. The Skill operates independently to analyze your work group and produce draft WD-*.md files with clear dependencies and verification criteria.

The work decomposition output uses markdown files formatted as WD-*.md, stored under .work/<group-slug>/. Each file represents an individual work definition with a draft status, dependency mappings, and verification criteria.
