task-breakdown

The task-breakdown skill is an architectural orchestration tool designed for multi-agent development frameworks like Claude Code. It allows developers to decompose high-level feature requests, refactoring needs, or complex system integrations into discrete, logical tasks that can be mapped to specialized agents. By following a structured process—identifying scope, listing required components (Database, Backend, Frontend, iOS, DevOps, Designer), determining dependencies, and assessing technical complexity—this skill ensures that large-scale development projects are executed in the correct sequence. It is particularly effective for full-stack, cross-platform, and API-heavy projects where architectural consistency is critical.

• Automatically maps user requirements to specialized agents such as Database (schema/migrations), Backend (API/logic), Frontend (React/Next.js), iOS (SwiftUI), Designer (branding/themes), and DevOps (CI/CD/Docker).

• Provides standardized patterns for complex flows, including Web, iOS, and full cross-platform application architectures.

• Enforces strict sequencing rules, such as Database-before-Backend, Backend-before-Frontend, and Designer-before-Frontend, preventing common integration pitfalls.

• Facilitates the creation of actionable task templates including task IDs, complexity levels (Simple, Medium, Complex), platform targets, and explicit dependency tracking.

• Supports the 'Hub Architecture' by generating delegation requests that the main conversation thread can execute sequentially or in parallel.

• Input: High-level natural language development requests (e.g., 'Build a social media app with web and iOS').

• Output: A comprehensive, ordered list of tasks categorized by agent, platform, and execution dependency.

• Best for: Architecting new features, managing complex refactoring, and orchestrating work across multiple specialized AI agents.

• Constraint: Designed specifically for systems where subagents cannot spawn other agents directly, requiring a Hub to process the breakdown. Follow the sequencing rules provided to ensure reliable agent interaction.
