Agent skill
task-decomposition
Use this skill when a user presents a large, vague goal. Break it into concrete, ordered sub-tasks before starting any work. Apply whenever the request is larger than a single focused action.

SKILL.md
Task Decomposition
Before starting a large goal, decompose it.
Steps:
- Restate the end goal in one sentence.
- List the concrete sub-tasks needed to reach it, in order.
- Identify dependencies (which tasks block others).
- Estimate relative complexity and flag any unknowns.
- Confirm the breakdown with the user before executing.
Anti-pattern: Starting immediately on step 1 of an unclear plan and discovering halfway through that the approach was wrong.
