Deciding whether a feature should split and, when useful, defining independently valuable Product or Tech child features. During definition, stays at outcomes, owners and acceptance; during engineering delivery preparation, defines implementation resources with stable identifiers, dependencies and validation. Use when several outcomes are bundled together, a small change is being over-split, dependencies or shared work need a breakdown, or progress lacks meaningful units. Does not approve…

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

# Feature Decomposition

## Purpose

Decomposition commonly earns its cost through work that can be **validated
independently**, work that must be **ordered** because of a real dependency, and work that will
be **shared** across people or sessions. Outside those, a breakdown is a table of contents for a
change that would have been easier to read as a diff.

Child Product/Tech Features must remain valuable, independently decidable/deliverable, and testable.
Independence does not require zero prerequisites: name what must already exist, then show what
usable outcome this child adds. A component that only becomes useful when its sibling arrives
remains enabling work unless it has a separate accepted engineering outcome.
During delivery preparation, **resources** are what gets implemented, validated and tracked.
The calling stage determines which of these outputs is needed.

## Choose the current stage

Inspect the request, current definition/analysis revision, accepted scope and any existing breakdown
before adding items. Reuse supplied IDs and authorization. If the requested stage is materially
unclear, resolve that boundary before creating a delivery breakdown.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/feature-decomposition@sha256:40ba1de6fe91fc93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, 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.
