Definitions

  1. Breaking a larger task into smaller subtasks that can be solved, checked, or delegated more easily. Task decomposition is common in agent workflows because it reduces complexity and makes failures easier to isolate.

    In plain English: Breaking a big task into smaller manageable parts.

    Example: "The agent used task decomposition to separate log collection, root-cause analysis, and remediation drafting into distinct steps."
