Name: Decomposition Patterns
Author: only976

Reference patterns for task decomposition in research planning. Apply when CheckAtomicity returns atomic=false.

Pattern Selection Flow

Identify domain → Literature, Technical comparison, Experiment, Survey, Documentation, Benchmark
Identify boundaries → Where does methodology change? Where is a handoff?
Match pattern → Use domain-specific pattern as template; adapt to boundaries found
Verify MECE → No overlap, no gaps; each child has one deliverable

Phase-Based Decomposition

Pattern	Phases	Example
Research → Analyze → Report	3 phases	Literature review, analysis, synthesis
Scope → Gather → Synthesize	3 phases	Define scope, collect data, combine
Setup → Execute → Validate	3 phases
