Task Decomposition

Break epics into parallelizable tasks with acceptance criteria, effort estimates, and dependency graphs.

Agent

Task Analyst - task-analyst

Workflow

  1. Analyze epic and identify 4-5 parallel work streams
  2. Decompose each stream into concrete tasks (parallel)
  3. Set acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format
  4. Estimate effort (S/M/L/XL) and set parallelization flags
  5. Build cross-stream dependency graph
  6. Validate coverage against PRD user stories
  7. Fill gaps with additional tasks if needed
  8. Write task files to .claude/epics/<featureName>/<N>.md

Inputs

  • projectName - Project name
  • featureName - Feature identifier
  • epic - Epic from Phase 2
  • prd - PRD from Phase 1
  • parallelAgents - Max parallel agents (default: 5)

Outputs

  • Task list with acceptance criteria and effort estimates
  • Work stream definitions
  • Dependency graph with execution waves
  • Coverage report with PRD traceability

Process Files

  • ccpm-task-decomposition.js - Standalone decomposition
  • ccpm-orchestrator.js - Phase 3 of full lifecycle
