# Task Decomposition

Turn a big vague goal into a list you can start on

## What this does

A goal stated large and loosely is hard to begin, so it tends to sit there. This breaks it into specific pieces in an order you can work through, before any of the work starts. Reach for it when the request is bigger than one focused piece of work.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Break a large goal into concrete steps
- Put the sub-tasks in a sensible order
- Work out where to start

## About Task Decomposition

This is for the point where a large, vague goal has been handed over and nothing has started yet.

The goal is broken into concrete, ordered sub-tasks before any work begins. It applies whenever the request is bigger than a single focused action.

## Questions

### Is Task Decomposition safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Task Decomposition and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fc163ba8a12b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/task-decomposition.

### How do I install Task Decomposition?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/task-decomposition on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/aiming-lab/MetaClaw/tree/fc163ba8a12ba5e6950544c3e0d55707c16e2a7e/memory_data/skills/task-decomposition. Install from that link, not the branch.
