Split a plan into PR-sized groups of small, reviewable tasks appended to the plan file.

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

# Split plan into tasks

Append a task breakdown to a plan so the work lands in small increments — one task, then a review,
a correction pass, a commit — instead of one sweep. Authoring only: executing the tasks is a later,
separate session.

Invocation: `/split-plan-tasks <plan-path>`

## Read the plan

Ambiguous or missing path → ask. A plan with numbered steps and an acceptance-criteria checklist
splits best; any plan markdown works — reference tasks to headings when steps aren't numbered, and
drop the AC line when there is no such checklist.

A plan already carrying a task section → **stop and ask** which the user wants: replace it, add a
second one beside it, or carry the ticked tasks forward and reformulate only the remaining work.

Done when the plan is read and, where a section already existed, the user has chosen.

## Work out the split

- **Task** — the smallest chunk that leaves the project building and its tests passing, so it can be
  reviewed and committed on its own. Steps that only make sense together are one task, never two —
  building alone isn't the test: a step that only re-runs a generator (API clients, specs,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/split-plan-tasks@sha256:548bec3184728b4e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.6, 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.
