Task Layering

What problem does it solve?

Organizing complex project specifications into manageable, parallel tasks and assigning them to different agents (or teams) is time-consuming and prone to bottlenecks. This skill automates that breakdown, ensuring efficient workflow and optimal resource allocation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Complexity Stratification: Categorizes tasks into Trivial, Simple, Moderate, and Complex based on estimated time and effort, providing a clear understanding of workload.
• Agent Assignment Strategy: Suggests optimal agent assignments (e.g., @claude for complex, @copilot for trivial/simple, @gemini for docs) to leverage specialized expertise and accelerate development.
• Layer Organization: Structures tasks into Foundation (sequential), Parallel (concurrent), and Integration (sequential) layers to maximize simultaneous execution and minimize dependencies.
• Output Files: Generates layered-tasks.md and agent-specific task files for clear distribution and actionable work plans.
• Use Case: A project manager needs to break down a large feature specification into actionable tasks for a multi-agent team. This skill automatically stratifies tasks by complexity, assigns them to specialized agents, and organizes them into parallel layers, generating ready-to-use task files for each agent.

Quick Start

Layer the tasks from the 'feature-x-spec.md' file, stratifying them by complexity and assigning them to appropriate agents for parallel execution.
