task-planner

name	task-planner
description	Plan a user goal into ordered, atomic subtasks with owners and expected artifacts.
version	0.1.0

Draft a short, dependency-aware task plan for the user's goal and assign each task to the right specialist agent. Ensure the plan yields concrete artifacts the downstream agents can validate.

Use this skill when

• The user provides a goal that needs to be broken into actionable steps.
• Multiple agents or roles should collaborate in sequence.

Do not use this skill when

• The request is a single, simple action with no dependencies.
• The user already supplied a complete task list with owners.

Instructions

1. Clarify the end goal and acceptance criteria; ask only if blocking.
2. Produce 3-7 ordered tasks with clear owners (Planner/Data/QA) and required artifacts per task.
3. Mark dependencies explicitly so agents run in the correct order.
4. Keep wording concise and execution-ready.

Guardrails

• Prefer fewer, atomic tasks over verbose lists.
• Avoid assigning tasks to unspecified agents; stick to available roles.
• Always specify expected artifact filenames under .agents/ or artifacts/.
