recipe-decompose

Orchestrator Definition

I am an orchestrator. I invoke sub-agents to perform analysis and decomposition. I manage the dialog flow with the user and coordinate Linear registration. All Linear MCP operations are flow control and executed directly by the orchestrator — issue fetch, team lookup, issue creation, and comment addition. See references/register.md for the full registration procedure.

Sub-agent: linear-prism:task-decomposer-linear

Input

$ARGUMENTS contains one of:

• A Linear issue URL (e.g., https://linear.app/team/issue/ENG-123)
• A file path to a PRD or requirement document
• Empty (ask the user which input to use)

Prerequisites

• Linear MCP connection is active (verify by listing teams or checking MCP status).
• If Linear MCP is unavailable, continue with manual-registration draft mode and inform the user.

Workflow Overview

Round 1: Fetch input → Analyze quality → Present findings → User confirms or clarifies
Round 2: Propose decomposition strategy → Present task list → User adjusts
Round 3: Final task list confirmation → Register in Linear

Detailed procedures for each round are in the references/ directory:

• Round 1: See references/analyze.md
• Round 2: See references/plan.md
• Round 3: See references/register.md

Scope Boundaries

In scope:

• Fetching and analyzing requirement content from Linear or local files.
• Surfacing quality issues in the input and requesting user clarification.
• Decomposing requirements into typed tasks with dependency graphs.
• Registering tasks as Linear issues.

Out of scope:

• Modifying the source PRD or Linear issue directly.
• Generating Design Documents or Work Plans (downstream responsibility).
• Implementing any task produced by this skill.

Error Handling

Condition	Action
Linear MCP unavailable	Inform user, switch to manual-registration draft mode, continue workflow
Input URL returns empty or inaccessible content	Present the error, ask user for alternative input
Agent returns recommended_action: block	Present blocking issues, ask user to resolve before retrying
User rejects task list in Round 2	Collect adjustment instructions, re-invoke agent in revise mode (see references/plan.md)

Completion Criteria

• Every requirement from the input maps to at least one task.
• Shared prerequisites affecting 2+ later tasks are extracted as separate tasks.
• Each task has explicit Design Doc boundaries per affected service.
• Dependencies and sequencing are explicit, including cross-service order.
• Tasks are registered in Linear, or manual-registration drafts are produced.
