Task Decomposition

Task Decomposition

Break epics into parallelizable tasks with acceptance criteria, effort estimates, and dependency graphs.

Agent

Task Analyst - task-analyst

Workflow

1. Analyze epic and identify 4-5 parallel work streams
2. Decompose each stream into concrete tasks (parallel)
3. Set acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format
4. Estimate effort (S/M/L/XL) and set parallelization flags
5. Build cross-stream dependency graph
6. Validate coverage against PRD user stories
7. Fill gaps with additional tasks if needed
8. Write task files to .claude/epics//.md

Inputs

• projectName - Project name
• featureName - Feature identifier
• epic - Epic from Phase 2
• prd - PRD from Phase 1
• parallelAgents - Max parallel agents (default: 5)

Outputs

• Task list with acceptance criteria and effort estimates
• Work stream definitions
• Dependency graph with execution waves
• Coverage report with PRD traceability

Process Files

• ccpm-task-decomposition.js - Standalone decomposition
• ccpm-orchestrator.js - Phase 3 of full lifecycle
