Can it identify security risks during decomposition?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated Risk Assessment component that identifies high, medium, and low risks, including security vulnerabilities and performance degradation.

How do I export the results to my project tracker?

The skill provides a Linear-ready format and includes a CLI command (python scripts/analyze_task.py --export-linear) to sync the generated subtasks directly to your workspace.

How does it determine subtask size?

The skill follows core principles to break work into chunks that are assignable to a single person and typically completable within a 1-4 hour window.

Does this skill only work with Linear?

While the output is specifically formatted for Linear export, the structured decomposition, rationale, and risk assessments can be used with any project management tool like Jira, GitHub Issues, or Trello.
