Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00056 | $0.00688 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00275 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00138 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00069 |
Grade A, and why
task-decomposition scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Task Decomposition
Decompose high-level objectives into manageable, testable sub-tasks.
Framework
1. Requirements Analysis
Extract: Primary objective, implicit requirements, constraints, success criteria.
2. Goal Hierarchy
Main Goal
├─ Sub-goal 1 → Tasks 1.1, 1.2
├─ Sub-goal 2 → Task 2.1
└─ Sub-goal 3
Atomic Criteria: Single action, defined inputs/outputs, one agent, testable.
3. Dependency Mapping
- Sequential: A → B → C
- Parallel: A, B, C (independent)
- Converging: A, B, C → D
4. Success Criteria
Define: Inputs, outputs, quality standards.
Process
Step 1: Understand Goal
Request: [Original]
Goal: [Main objective]
Type: [Implementation/Debug/Refactor]
Complexity: [Simple/Medium/Complex]
Step 2: Identify Components (3-7)
Step 3: Decompose Components
Step 4: Map Dependencies
Step 5: Assign Priorities
- P0 (Critical), P1 (Important), P2 (Nice-to-have)
Step 6: Estimate Complexity
- Low (<30min), Medium (30min-2hr), High (>2hr)
Patterns
Layer-Based (Rust)
- Data types / schemas
- Business logic
- API / CLI interface
- Integration tests
- Documentation
Feature-Based
- Core (MVP)
- Error handling (
thiserror/anyhow) - Performance (benches)
- Integration
- Testing
- Docs
Problem-Solution
- Reproduce
- Diagnose
- Design
- Fix
- Verify
- Prevent
Quality Checklist
- Atomic and actionable tasks
- Dependencies identified
- Measurable success criteria
- Appropriate complexity estimates
- No task >4 hours
- Parallelization opportunities found
Rationalizations
| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "I already know what needs to be done, no need to decompose" | Skipping decomposition leads to scope creep, missed dependencies, and rework. |
| "The task is too simple to break down" | Even simple tasks benefit from explicit success criteria and dependency mapping. |
Red Flags
- Defining tasks that are too vague to test or verify
- Skipping dependency mapping between decomposed tasks
- Creating tasks larger than 4 hours without further breakdown
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

task-decomposition is a skill published in the GitHub repository d-oit/rust-2026-template (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 688 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
