SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decomposes a spec or architecture into buildable tasks with acceptance criteria, dependencies, and risk-first implementation order, creating a concrete, auditable execution plan for AI agents or human engineers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposes a spec into vertical, independently shippable tasks with stable IDs and explicit dependencies.
  • Applies risk-first ordering to surface high-risk work early and enable parallel work where possible.
  • Outputs docs/forsvn/artifacts/meta/tasks.md as the canonical artifact for execution planning.

Quick Start

Provide a spec or architecture to decompose and run the breakdown-tasks skill to generate docs/forsvn/artifacts/meta/tasks.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about breakdown-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a software spec into executable tasks with dependencies?▼

Task breakdown transforms a spec or architecture into vertical, independently shippable tasks with stable IDs, explicit dependencies, and acceptance criteria for reliable delivery.

What is risk-first ordering in task decomposition?▼

Risk-first ordering surfaces high-risk work early in task decomposition, enabling parallel work where possible and ensuring reliable delivery by resolving uncertainties before execution.

How do I generate an execution plan for AI agents from an architecture spec?▼

Provide the architecture spec to a breakdown tool to generate a canonical tasks.md artifact, creating a concrete, auditable execution plan with dependencies for AI agents.

Can I use task breakdown output for both human engineers and AI agents?▼

Yes, task decomposition produces a canonical execution plan artifact with clear acceptance criteria and stable IDs, supporting both human engineers and AI agents during implementation.

How do hidden dependencies surface during spec decomposition?▼

A dependency mapper surfaces hidden dependencies during spec decomposition by analyzing the architecture, ensuring tasks are correctly sequenced with explicit dependency tracking.

What format does task decomposition output for execution planning?▼

Task decomposition outputs a canonical tasks.md file located in the docs/forsvn/artifacts/meta/ directory, serving as the concrete, auditable execution plan for implementation.
