planning-and-task-breakdown SKILL.md skillA

planning-and-task-breakdown from lazyisefficient/agentic-os is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Breaks work into ordered, parallel-dispatchable tasks with an execution DAG. Output format is consumable by CI matrices and parallel agent runners — each task has a stable ID, declared file writes, conflict edges, and branch suffix. Use when you have a spec, brief, or shaper output and need to decompose it into implementable units. Use when a task feels too large, when scope spans multi-repo or multi-week work, or when parallel execution across multiple agents is on the table.

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

# Planning and Task Breakdown

Decompose work into small, verifiable tasks with a parallel-dispatchable structure. The output is a plan document — never code — that downstream runners (CI matrices, single-agent execution sessions) consume to do the work.

## When to use

- After a `/shape` brief covering multi-repo, multi-week, or multi-slice work
- When a spec or task feels too large to start in one session
- When work needs to parallelize across agents or sessions
- When implementation order isn't obvious

**When not to use.** Single-file changes with obvious scope, or specs that already contain well-defined tasks.

## The planning process

1. **Plan mode.** Read in read-only mode. Map dependencies, note risks. *Do not write code during planning.*
2. **Identify the dependency graph.** Bottom-up — foundations first.
3. **Slice vertically.** Each task is a feature path through every layer it needs (schema + API + UI), not a horizontal layer of the system. Horizontal slicing produces half-finished branches.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add lazyisefficient/agentic-os/planning-and-task-breakdown@sha256:12c8be46eb7a96a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.7c29779, 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.
