# Task Decomposition
Decompose planned components into atomic, implementable task specs with a bootstrap structure plan through a systematic workflow. All tasks are named with their Jira ticket ID prefix in a flat directory.
Decompose planned components into atomic, implementable task specs with a bootstrap structure plan through a systematic workflow. All tasks are named with their work item tracker ID prefix in a flat directory.
## Core Principles
- **Atomic tasks**: each task does one thing; if it exceeds 5 complexity points, split it
- **Atomic tasks**: each task does one thing; if it exceeds 8 complexity points, split it
- **Behavioral specs, not implementation plans**: describe what the system should do, not how to build it
- **Flat structure**: all tasks are Jira-ID-prefixed files in TASKS_DIR — no component subdirectories
- **Flat structure**: all tasks are tracker-ID-prefixed files in TASKS_DIR — no component subdirectories
- **Save immediately**: write artifacts to disk after each task; never accumulate unsaved work
- **Jira inline**: create Jira ticket immediately after writing each task file
- **Tracker inline**: create work item ticket immediately after writing each task file
- **Ask, don't assume**: when requirements are ambiguous, ask the user before proceeding
- **Plan, don't code**: this workflow produces documents and Jira tasks, never implementation code
- **Plan, don't code**: this workflow produces documents and work item tickets, never implementation code

**Naming convention**: Each task file is initially saved with a temporary numeric prefix (`[##]_[short_name].md`). After creating the Jira ticket, rename the file to use the Jira ticket ID as prefix (`[JIRA-ID]_[short_name].md`). For example: `01_initial_structure.md``AZ-42_initial_structure.md`.
