Task Breakdown

Use this skill after the brief is accepted and before research starts.

Contract

• Use Dopemux PM authority when reachable.
• When PM is unavailable, create temporary local task mirrors only. Do not pretend they are canonical.
• Keep tasks independently executable by a single workflow executor.
• Record task ids, required artifacts, and verification expectations up front.

Required Output

• Ordered task list with ids
• Ownership and authority source
• Required artifacts per task
• Verification commands or verification placeholders

Completion Rule

Emit:

<workflow-checkpoint phase="breakdown" status="complete" task="task-001" summary="Task mirror created" artifact="/abs/path/tasks/task-001/task.md" />
