## Intent Break down a complex goal into smaller, manageable subgoals with clear boundaries, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. Enable parallel work and incremental progress. **Success criteria:** - Goal fully decomposed (no gaps) - Subgoals are independently verifiable - Dependencies are explicit - Acceptance criteria are testable - Decomposition depth is appropriate **Compatible schemas:** - `schemas/output_schema.yaml` ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Type | Description | |-----------|----------|------|-------------| | `goal` | Yes | string or object | The goal to decompose | | `depth` | No | integer | Maximum decomposition depth (default: 3) | | `constraints` | No | object | Boundaries, limitations, scope | | `granularity` | No | string | Target size: epic, story, task (default: story) | | `context` | No | object | Background information | ## Procedure 1) **Understand the goal**: Clarify what needs to be achieved - Parse the goal statement - Identify success criteria - Note implicit requirements - Determine scope boundaries 2) **Identify major components**: Find natural divisions - Functional areas - Phases or stages - User journeys - Technical layers 3) **Create subgoals**: Define each component - Clear, specific objective - Bounded scope - Measurable outcome - Independent when possible 4) **Define dependencies**: Map relationships - Which subgoals block others? - Which can proceed in parallel? - Are there shar
