Install the task-decomposition skill

A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description. 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter.git /tmp/babysitter
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/babysitter/library/methodologies/spec-kit/skills/task-decomposition ~/.claude/skills/task-decomposition
available in every project

In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

  • When breaking down a large feature into implementable units
  • When identifying parallelization opportunities in a task set
  • When estimating effort and critical path for a feature

Key Principle

Every task must trace back to at least one specification requirement. Tasks must be atomic enough for a single development session. Dependency graphs must be acyclic.

Process

  1. Decompose components - Break architecture components into implementable tasks
  2. Define tasks - Each with id, title, description, acceptance criteria, dependencies, effort
  3. Build dependency graph - Show task ordering constraints
  4. Identify parallel groups - Tasks with no mutual dependencies
  5. Determine critical path - Longest dependency chain
  6. Generate test tasks - Testing tasks alongside implementation
  7. Map to requirements - Traceability from tasks to specification
  8. Human review - Approve task list before implementation
