hierarchical-decomposition

name	hierarchical-decomposition
description	Replace a flat control or execution flow with a hierarchy that assigns responsibilities across explicit levels.

defect_tags

• responsibility_entanglement
• monolithic_design
• scale_mismatch

guardrails

• Separate responsibilities cleanly across levels.
• Avoid duplicating the same control logic in every layer.
• Show that the hierarchy improves control, analysis, or scaling rather than adding ceremony.

structural_mode

• hierarchical_reorg

scope_preference

• broad_architecture

requires_control_centered_parent

• false

atomic_blueprint

• REPLACE_COMPONENT(flat_pipeline -> hierarchical_pipeline)
• REWIRE(hierarchical_pipeline -> execution_path)
• ADD_PROTOCOL(ablation)

required_protocols

• ablation

avoid_combinations

• ADD_COMPONENT(parallel_shadow_pipeline) in the same plan

execution_logic

1. Identify the defect from defect_tags.
2. Generate the solution by instantiating the atomic_blueprint.
3. Format: FUNCTION_NAME(ARGUMENTS) -> REASONING
