# Task Decomposer & Skill Generator

This skill helps decompose complex user requests into executable subtasks, identify required capabilities for each task, search for existing skills from the open skills ecosystem, and automatically create new skills when no existing solution is available.

## Core Workflow

```
User Request → Task Decomposition → Capability Identification → Skill Search → Gap Analysis → Skill Creation → Execution Plan
```

## Phase 1: Task Analysis & Decomposition

When receiving a user request, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand User Intent

Analyze the request to identify:
- **Core objective**: What is the end goal?
- **Domains involved**: What areas of expertise are needed?
- **Trigger mechanism**: One-time, scheduled, or event-driven?

Example analysis:
```
User Input: "Help me get email summaries every morning and send them to Slack"

Analysis:
- Core objective: Automated email digest delivery to Slack
- Domains: Email access, content summarization, messaging
- Trigger: Scheduled (daily morning)
```

### Step 2: Decompose into Atomic Tasks

Break down the complex task into minimal executable units:

```yaml
Task Decomposition:
  - task_id: 1
    name: "Access and retrieve email list"
    type: "data_retrieval"
    input: "Email credentials/session"
    output: "List of emails with metadata"
    dependencies: []
    
  - task_id: 2
    name: "Extract key information from emails"
    type: "data_extraction"
    input: "Email list"
    output: "Structured email data"
    dependencies: [1]
    
  - task_id: 3
    name: "Generate email summary"
    type: "content_generation"
    input: "Structured email data"
    output: "Formatted summary text"
    dependencies: [2]
    
  - task_id: 4
    name: "Send message to Slack"
    type: "message_delivery"
    input: "Summary text, Slack webhook/token"
    output: "Delivery confirmation"
    dependencies: [3]
    
  - task_id: 5
    name: "Configure scheduled execution"
    type: "scheduling"...

# Task Decomposer & Skill Generator

A powerful skill that helps decompose complex user requests into executable subtasks, identify required capabilities, search for existing skills from the open skills ecosystem, and automatically create new skills when no existing solution is available.

## Features

- **Task Decomposition**: Breaks down complex requests into atomic, executable subtasks
- **Capability Identification**: Maps tasks to a universal capability taxonomy
- **Skill Search**: Searches the [skills.sh](https://skills.sh/) ecosystem for existing solutions
- **Gap Analysis**: Identifies tasks without matching skills
- **Skill Creation**: Generates new skills when no existing solution is found
- **Execution Planning**: Creates structured execution plans with dependencies

## Installation

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/clawdbot-skills/task-decomposer -g -y
