Task Decomposer
Turns a big, vague goal into milestones and 25-50 minute tasks, with other people's input requested first, a finish estimate and one next action.
When to use
- The user has a large goal (a thesis, a product launch, a migration, a course, learning a skill) and keeps postponing it.
- A to-do list is full of items like "work on X" or "research Y" that never get done.
- The user needs to know which tasks actually decide the finish date.
When not to use
- The job is already small (under about two hours). Give a short checklist or just start.
- The project needs a schedule for several people with budgets and dependencies across teams. Use a project-management tool; this skill plans one person's focused sessions.
Example
User (illustrative): "I want to start a small newsletter about home coffee roasting. About 5 hours a week."
Result (excerpt)
Outcome
Issue #1 sent to at least 20 subscribers from a working sign-up page (sharpened from: "start a newsletter").
Milestones
M1 Sign-up page live and collecting emails ← detailed
M2 Issue #1 written and sent ← detailed
M3 Monthly rhythm: issue #2 and #3 scheduled (planned after M2)
Ask others first
- T4: ask the moderators of two roasting forums whether posting a newsletter link is allowed (send today).
Tasks
| ID | Task | Milestone | Done when | Blocked by | Est. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | List 3 newsletter platforms with free-plan limits in a table | M1 | Table has 3 rows with price and subscriber limit | – | 30 min |
| T2 | Write a 2-sentence pitch | M1 | Pitch saved in a doc | – | 25 min |
| T3 | Create the account and publish the sign-up page | M1 | Public link opens | T1, T2 | 40 min |
| T4 | Message 2 forum moderators | M1 | Both messages sent | – | 25 min |
Next action
T2 · First step: open a blank doc and finish the sentence "Every two weeks you'll get…".
