# Problem Decomposition

Read and follow the installed
[Open Dough problem-decomposition reference](../dough-story-decomposition/references/problem-decomposition.md)
for problem framing, story splitting, sizing, ordering, and learning escalation.

Use `dough-story-decomposition` for unresolved parent problems or candidate
selection, and `dough-story-refinement` when a selected story's goal, scope, or
examples need clarification. A decomposition seed is not executable.
