What is Task Decomposition?

← All glossary terms
In short

Breaking a user goal into smaller subtasks an agent or team can execute and verify.

Explained

Task decomposition translates high-level outcomes into ordered or parallel steps with clear inputs, outputs, and stop conditions. It connects spec-driven design (use cases, criteria) to chain-of-thought planning, skills, and orchestration without runaway scope.
