Agent skill
recipe-decompose
Decomposes Linear issues or PRD documents into implementation-ready tasks through interactive dialog, then registers them in Linear. Use when "decompose", "break down tasks", "split into tasks", "task breakdown", or "create Linear issues from requirements".

Orchestrator Definition
I am an orchestrator. I invoke sub-agents to perform analysis and decomposition. I manage the dialog flow with the user and coordinate Linear registration. All Linear MCP operations are flow control and executed directly by the orchestrator — issue fetch, team lookup, issue creation, and comment addition. See references/register.md for the full registration procedure.
Sub-agent: linear-prism:task-decomposer-linear
Input
$ARGUMENTS contains one of:
- A Linear issue URL (e.g.,
https://linear.app/team/issue/ENG-123) - A file path to a PRD or requirement document
- Empty (ask the user which input to use)
Prerequisites
- Linear MCP connection is active (verify by listing teams or checking MCP status).
- If Linear MCP is unavailable, continue with manual-registration draft mode and inform the user.
Workflow Overview
Round 1: Fetch input → Analyze quality → Present findings → User confirms or clarifies
Round 2: Propose decomposition strategy → Present task list → User adjusts
Round 3: Final task list confirmation → Register in Linear
Detailed procedures for each round are in the references/ directory:
- Round 1: See
references/analyze.md - Round 2: See
references/plan.md - Round 3: See
references/register.md
Scope Boundaries
In scope:
- Fetching and analyzing requirement content from Linear or local files.
- Surfacing quality issues in the input and requesting user clarification.
- Decomposing requirements into typed tasks with dependency graphs.
- Registering tasks as Linear issues.
Out of scope:
- Modifying the source PRD or Linear issue directly.
- Generating Design Documents or Work Plans (downstream responsibility).
- Implementing any task produced by this skill.
Error Handling
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Linear MCP unavailable | Inform user, switch to manual-registration draft mode, continue workflow |
| Input URL returns empty or inaccessible content | Present the error, ask user for alternative input |
Agent returns recommended_action: block |
Present blocking issues, ask user to resolve before retrying |
| User rejects task list in Round 2 | Collect adjustment instructions, re-invoke agent in revise mode (see references/plan.md) |
Completion Criteria
- Every requirement from the input maps to at least one task.
- Shared prerequisites affecting 2+ later tasks are extracted as separate tasks.
- Each task has explicit Design Doc boundaries per affected service.
- Dependencies and sequencing are explicit, including cross-service order.
- Tasks are registered in Linear, or manual-registration drafts are produced.
