work-item-decompose

To break high-level goals into actionable work items, you provide an intent brief, and the planner translates it into discrete deliverables with explicit dependencies, acceptance criteria, and defined complexity levels.

Autonomy bias affects work item decomposition by driving a mode selection mechanism that determines planning and execution workflows based on risk and context, ensuring reliable and structured progress.

Defining acceptance criteria and dependencies for independent work items happens automatically during decomposition, validating sequences and translating high-level goals into safe, incremental deliverables.

The best way to structure an intent brief for work item decomposition is placing it at .specs-fire/intents/{intent-id}/brief.md, enabling the planner to generate, review, and save items to the work-items directory.

Yes, you can save generated work items into a reusable plan for traceability and audit, storing the translated deliverables directly within the .specs-fire/intents/{intent-id}/work-items/ directory.

Validating dependencies and sequences when decomposing work items ensures safe, incremental progress by confirming that each independently valuable deliverable correctly maps its explicit dependencies before execution.
