# Task Breakdown (Sonnet) **Purpose**: Break complex features into implementable tasks with estimates, dependencies, and risk assessment. **Model**: Sonnet 4.5 (balanced reasoning for task decomposition and estimation) ## When to Invoke Autonomously Use this skill when: 1. **Complex Feature**: "Break down [feature] into tasks" 2. **Unclear Scope**: "Estimate effort for [ambiguous requirement]" 3. **Sprint Planning**: "Decompose epic into sprint tasks" 4. **Risk Assessment**: "Identify risks and blockers for [feature]" 5. **Dependency Mapping**: "What are dependencies for [feature]?" ## DO NOT invoke for - Simple, obvious tasks (just implement) - Already-broken-down work - Single-step tasks ## Decision Tree ``` Feature work: ├─ Complex, needs breakdown? → Use this skill ├─ Unclear how much effort? → Use this skill ├─ Simple, obvious implementation? → Don't use this skill └─ Already broken down? → Don't use this skill ``` ## Usage ``` /task-breakdown break-down [feature description] /task-breakdown estimate [feature with unknowns] /task-breakdown dependencies [feature] /task-breakdown risks [feature] ``` ## What This Skill Does **Task Decomposition**: - Break features into SMART tasks (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) - Granularity: 1-2 hour tasks (sweet spot for tracking and estimation) - Clear done criteria for each task **Effort Estimation**: - Three-point estimate (Optimistic, Most Likely, Pessimistic) - Planning Poker for team estimation
