decompose

decompose is a skill for Claude Code from NVZver/claude-marketplace. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for splitting a project proposal into independently shippable epics, which are larger pieces of work that can each be delivered separately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a pitch or backlog item to create stable epic scopes, approve or adjust them, and prepare the first epic for the next build cycle.
Why use it?
It avoids manually breaking down the proposal and routes the resulting plan through an approval step before development discovery begins.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

decompose 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 9d 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.

Decompose

Decompose a pitch into epics ready for the LSA build cycle. Dispatches the project-manager agent with the pitch, runs the epic-approval gate, and on approval invokes the staged lsa:discover handoff with the agent's first-epic seed. Does not contain decomposition logic — that lives in the agent and ../../knowledge/epic-decomposition.md. The dispatch → gate → re-render loop is the shared contract at ../../knowledge/roadmap-orchestration.md.

Goal

Turn an approved pitch into a list of independently-shippable epics — each keyed by a stable slug (<feature-slug>/<short-kebab-scope>, never a global ordinal) and scoped to one LSA cycle — and stage the first epic into discovery, without the user manually decomposing the pitch or invoking the agent directly. The slug is assigned once here and is immutable through commit and PR per ../../knowledge/epic-decomposition.md §"Epic key".

Input

  • A pitch slug or path as the skill argument (e.g. manager:decompose onboarding-checklist or a path under ${specs_root}/pitches/). If no argument is given, the agent decomposes the highest-priority backlog pick (per ../../agents/project-manager.md Step 8).
  • specs_root from .lsa.yaml at repo root (defaults per ../../../lsa/knowledge/conventions.md §".lsa.yaml defaults"). Used to resolve ${specs_root}/... paths.

Steps

  1. Dispatch the project-manager and run the epic-approval gate — per the shared contract. Dispatch the project-manager agent with an explicit intent carrying the pitch (intent: decompose <pitch>) and run its returned gates per ../../knowledge/roadmap-orchestration.md. The agent reads the pitch, decomposes it per ../../knowledge/epic-decomposition.md, and returns the full epic list as a pending gate — approve (recommended default) / reject / adjust (../../agents/project-manager.md Step 10). This skill delivers the list and presents the gate via an interactive confirmation gate (AskUserQuestion in Claude Code); on reject/adjust it sends the feedback back and re-gates the fresh epic list. Observable result: epic list delivered; approve/reject/adjust gate resolved by the user.

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.
