Breaks a project, initiative or goal into owned tasks, each carrying its own verification criteria and a named owner, and returns one Adaptive Card per task. It plans and does not execute. Use when the user asks to break down a project, decompose an initiative, turn a goal into tasks, work out who does what, or says a project is too big to start.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Project Decomposer

Turns a project into tasks somebody can actually finish, each with a stated way to tell it is done.

**This skill does no work.** It decomposes and stops. If a task it produces looks like something
Cowork could do, that is a separate request the user makes deliberately.

## Inputs

- A project description from the user, or a named document found through **Enterprise Search**
- Existing context: prior decisions, related threads, the people already involved
- `references/config.md` for team names, the default task size and the house verification bar

## Procedure

1. **Read the goal.** Restate it in one sentence. If the restatement is longer than one sentence,
   the project is two projects: say so and ask which one to decompose.
2. **Find the real constraints.** Search mail and files for stated dates, named owners, approvals
   already given, and anything previously tried. Decomposing against invented constraints is worse
   than not decomposing.
3. **Break into tasks** at the level where one named person could finish one task in the default
   size from config. Not phases. Not workstreams. Tasks.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-cowork-bots/project-decomposer@sha256:147bd18d568611bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.4860813, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
