task-decomposition SKILL.md skillA
task-decomposition from a5c-ai/babysitter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/task-decomposition@git:20260601.da7723aPins git:20260601.da7723a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Convert technical plans into actionable development tasks with dependency graphs, effort estimates, and parallelization opportunities.
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
- 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 ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/spec-kit/spec-kit-planning` (task decomposition phase) Full pipeline: `methodologies/spec-kit/spec-kit-orchestrator`

How to install
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/task-decomposition@sha256:84127c80e178b90bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
