    decompose

    Learn to decompose complex problems before building real agents. Better answers today. Ready for orchestration tomorrow. Breaks messy tasks into clear DAG structures with explicit dependencies, parallel branches, and synthesis logic. Improves Claude outputs by enforcing topological order and catching contradictions. Teaches the mental model for LangGraph, CrewAI, n8n, and Sub-Agents. Type "decompose: [goal]" or "decompose preview: [goal]" to start. Zero experience required.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 22 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Get the idea: If nothing was passed above, use the idea just discussed in the conversation.

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    Commit: only that note: git -C ~/notes add <path>, then git -C ~/notes commit -m 'idea: <title>' -- <path>, naming the path again so …

    line 25

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 22 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Capture an idea

The idea: $ARGUMENTS

Capture should be fast. File the note, don't interrogate the user or start developing the idea unless they ask.

~/notes must be set up first: if ~/notes/templates/idea.md doesn't exist, say so, point to "Set up ~/notes" in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/README.md, and stop. Don't create it.

  1. Get the idea. If nothing was passed above, use the idea just discussed in the conversation. If there is none, ask for it in one line.
  2. Check for duplicates. Search ~/notes/ideas/ with the Grep tool for notes with similar titles or key terms. If there is a close match, ask whether to add to that note instead of creating a new one. If the user says yes, add their words under that note's "The idea", dated, and commit it as step 5 says, with the message idea: <title> (added to); skip steps 3 and 4.
  3. Create the note at ~/notes/ideas/YYYY-MM-DD-short-slug.md (today's date, 3–6 word lowercase hyphenated slug), starting from ~/notes/templates/idea.md.
  4. Fill it in:
    • title, created (today), status: seed.
    • tags following the conventions in ~/notes/CLAUDE.md.
    • related: if the current working directory is a repo under ~/code, add its path (e.g. ~/code/github.com/org/repo).
    • "The idea": the user's own words, tidied but not reinterpreted.
    • Other sections: fill only with what the user said or the conversation established. Leave the rest as the template's prompts. Never invent content.
  5. Commit only that note: git -C ~/notes add <path>, then git -C ~/notes commit -m 'idea: <title>' -- <path>, naming the path again so nothing another session staged comes with it, following this session's commit attribution rules. Don't push.
  6. Report the file path in one line. Optionally add one sharp open question worth thinking about, and mention that /research <path> will dig into it.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
