How do I define the complexity of a task?

You can pass a complexity flag (e.g., --complexity=high) to help the agent understand the depth of analysis required for the decomposition.

Can this skill help with large TypeScript migrations?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle broad tasks like fixing all TypeScript errors by decomposing them into manageable chunks.

What is the purpose of the tool-budget parameter?

The tool-budget limits the number of actions or tool calls the AI can make for a specific task, preventing infinite loops and managing resource usage.

What does the cfn-task-decomposition skill do?

It programmatically breaks down high-level, complex tasks into smaller sub-tasks that an AI agent can execute more reliably.

Is this skill suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is part of the Claude Flow Novice repository, which aims to make AI agent orchestration easy for developers of all levels.

Productivity & Workflow

Deconstructs complex development objectives into manageable sub-tasks with defined budgets and complexity levels.

About

The cfn-task-decomposition skill is designed to streamline AI agent orchestration by breaking down large-scale coding challenges into smaller, actionable segments. By allowing users to specify task IDs, tool budgets, and complexity ratings, it ensures that Claude can systematically tackle heavy-duty operations—such as fixing project-wide TypeScript errors or performing major refactors—without losing context or exceeding resource limits. This skill is ideal for developers who want to automate the planning phase of a complex workflow and manage AI resource consumption effectively.
