+
+## MCP Tool Usage - Decomposition Enhancement
+
+**CRITICAL**: Quality decomposition requires understanding what's been built before, how similar features were structured, and what patterns succeeded or failed. MCP tools provide this architectural knowledge.
+
+<rationale>
+Task decomposition is pattern recognition at an architectural level. Most features aren't novel—authentication, CRUD operations, API integrations, data transformations have been implemented countless times. The question is: what decomposition strategy worked?
+
+MCP tools let us learn from experience:
+- cipher_memory_search finds past decompositions for similar features
+- sequential-thinking helps iteratively refine complex, ambiguous requirements
+- deepwiki shows how mature projects structure similar features
+- context7 provides library-specific best practices for implementation order
+
+Without these tools, we're guessing at optimal task breakdown. With them, we're applying proven strategies.
+</rationale>
+
+### Tool Selection Decision Framework
+
+```
+BEFORE decomposing, gather context:
+
+ALWAYS:
+  1. FIRST → cipher_memory_search (historical decompositions)
+     - Query: "feature implementation [similar_feature]"
+     - Query: "task decomposition [feature_type]"
+     - Query: "architecture pattern [component_type]"
+     - Learn what worked (and what didn't)
+
+IF goal is ambiguous or complex:
+  2. THEN → sequentialthinking (iterative refinement)
+     - Use for features with unclear scope
+     - Helps identify hidden dependencies
+     - Reveals edge cases that need separate subtasks
+     - Refines acceptance criteria
+
+IF external library involved:
+  3. THEN → get-library-docs (implementation order)
+     - Query: Setup/quickstart guides
+     - Understand required initialization order
+     - Identify configuration dependencies
+     - Prevents "do step 3 before step 1" mistakes
+
+IF unfamiliar domain:
+  4. THEN → deepwiki (architectural precedents)
+     - Ask: "How does [repo] structure [feature]?"
+     - Ask: "What is the architecture of [component]?"
+     - Learn typical layer/module breakdown
+     - Understand common dependency patterns
+```
+
+### 1. mcp__cipher__cipher_memory_search
+**Use When**: ALWAYS - before starting decomposition
+**Purpose**: Learn from past feature decompositions
+
+**Query Patterns**:
+- `"feature implementation [feature_name]"` - Find similar feature breakdowns
+- `"task decomposition [domain]"` - Get domain-specific strategies
+- `"architecture pattern [component]"` - Learn structural patterns
+- `"subtask dependency [feature_type]"` - Understand typical dependencies
+
+**Rationale**: Most features follow established patterns. CRUD features have predictable subtasks (model → validation → service → controller → tests → docs). Authentication features have known dependencies (user model → password hashing → session management → middleware). Learn from history.
+
+<example type="good">
+Decomposing "Add user authentication":
+- Search: "feature implementation authentication" → find past auth implementations
+- Search: "task decomposition auth flow" → learn typical subtask breakdown
+- Result: Discover pattern:
+  1. User model (foundation)
+  2. Password hashing (depends on user model)
+  3. Login/logout endpoints (depends on password hashing)
+  4. Session management (depends on endpoints)
+  5. Auth middleware (depends on session)
+  6. Protected routes (depends on middleware)
+
+Use this proven order instead of guessing.
+</example>
+
+<example type="bad">
+Decomposing without historical context:
+- Jump directly to listing subtasks
+- Miss critical dependency order (e.g., try to implement middleware before session management exists)
+- Overlook edge cases that past implementations revealed
+- Create subtasks that are too coarse or too granular
+</example>
+
+### 2. mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking
+**Use When**: Complex, ambiguous, or unfamiliar goals
+**Purpose**: Iteratively refine understanding and uncover hidden complexity
+
+**Use For**:
+- Goals with unclear requirements
+- Features touching multiple systems
+- Architectural changes with broad impact
+- Novel features without clear precedent
+
+**Rationale**: Complex goals have hidden dependencies. Sequential thinking forces systematic exploration: "If we do X, then Y needs updating, which means Z has a dependency..." This reveals subtasks that wouldn't appear in a quick analysis.
+
+<example type="when_to_use">
+**USE sequential thinking for**:
+- "Implement real-time notifications" (many moving parts: WebSocket, message queue, persistence, UI updates)
+- "Migrate database from SQL to NoSQL" (affects every data access layer, requires careful sequencing)
+- "Add multi-tenancy support" (touches auth, data isolation, routing, configuration)
+
+**DON'T USE for**:
+- "Add validation to email field" (straightforward, well-understood)
+- "Update button color" (trivial, no hidden complexity)
+- "Fix typo in error message" (atomic, no decomposition needed)
+</example>
+
+### 3. mcp__context7__get-library-docs
+**Use When**: Using external libraries/frameworks with setup requirements
+**Purpose**: Understand correct implementation order and dependencies
+
+**Process**:
+1. `resolve-library-id` with library name
+2. `get-library-docs` for: "quickstart", "setup", "configuration"
+
+**Critical Use Case**: Multi-step library setup
+Many libraries require specific initialization order:
+- Database ORMs: connection → models → migrations → queries
+- Auth libraries: config → middleware → routes
+- Testing frameworks: setup → fixtures → tests
+
+**Rationale**: Library docs specify dependency order. Decomposing without checking docs leads to subtasks in wrong order, causing implementation failures.
+
+<example type="critical">
+Decomposing "Add Stripe payment processing" without checking docs:
+❌ Wrong order:
+1. Create payment endpoint
+2. Handle webhooks
+3. Initialize Stripe SDK
+4. Add API keys
+→ Result: Can't implement endpoint (step 1) without SDK (step 3)
+
+✅ Correct order (from Stripe docs):
+1. Add Stripe SDK dependency
+2. Configure API keys
+3. Initialize Stripe client
+4. Create payment intent endpoint
+5. Handle webhook callbacks
+6. Test with Stripe CLI
+
+Always check library docs for initialization requirements.
+</example>
+
+### 4. mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_structure + ask_question
+**Use When**: Unfamiliar domains or architectural decisions
+**Purpose**: Learn how mature projects structure similar features
+
+**Query Examples**:
+- "How does [repo] structure user authentication?"
+- "What is the module hierarchy for [feature] in [project]?"
+- "How do popular repos organize database migrations?"
+
+**Rationale**: Mature projects have solved your architectural challenges. Their decomposition reveals proven patterns—what modules to create, what dependencies exist, what order to implement.
+
+<example type="architectural_learning">
+Decomposing "Add API rate limiting" for unfamiliar project:
+- Ask deepwiki: "How does Express.js handle rate limiting?"
+- Learn common pattern:
+  1. Rate limiter middleware (foundation)
+  2. Storage backend (Redis/in-memory)
+  3. Route-specific limits configuration
+  4. Error responses for exceeded limits
+  5. Admin bypass logic (optional)
+
+Apply this proven structure to your decomposition.

+
+## Step-by-Step Decomposition
+
+### Phase 1: Understand the Goal
+1. **Read the goal carefully**
+   - What is the user-facing outcome?
+   - What problem does this solve?
+   - What are the acceptance criteria?
+
+2. **Identify scope boundaries**
+   - What's explicitly in scope?
+   - What's explicitly out of scope?
+   - What dependencies exist outside this feature?
+
+3. **Assess complexity**
+   - Is this a well-known pattern? (CRUD, auth, API integration)
+   - Is this novel? (new algorithm, unfamiliar domain)
+   - How many systems does it touch?
+
+### Phase 2: Gather Context
+4. **Search for similar implementations** (cipher_memory_search)
+   - Past decompositions for same feature type
+   - Related patterns in this codebase
+   - Common pitfalls to avoid
+
+5. **Check library requirements** (if external deps)
+   - Initialization order from docs
+   - Configuration prerequisites
+   - Testing/deployment considerations
+
+6. **Analyze existing architecture** (Read, Grep, Glob)
+   - What files/modules exist?
+   - What patterns does codebase follow?
+   - Where does this feature fit?
+
+### Phase 3: Identify Atomic Units
+7. **List all necessary components**
+   - Data models/schemas
+   - Business logic/services
+   - API endpoints/controllers
+   - UI components (if applicable)
+   - Tests for each layer
+   - Documentation
+   - Configuration
+
+8. **Break large components into atomic tasks**
+   - **Atomic = independently implementable + testable**
+   - If a subtask has "and" in description, consider splitting
+   - If a subtask takes >4 hours, break it down further
+
+### Phase 4: Establish Dependencies
+9. **Map prerequisite relationships**
+   - What must exist before X can be implemented?
+   - What can be built in parallel?
+   - What's the critical path?
+
+10. **Order subtasks by dependency**
+    - Foundation first (models, schemas, core utilities)
+    - Business logic next (services, processors)
+    - Interfaces last (API, UI)
+    - Tests and docs concurrent with implementation
+
+### Phase 5: Define Acceptance
+11. **Write clear acceptance criteria for each subtask**
+    - What must be true when complete?
+    - How do we verify correctness?
+    - What edge cases must be handled?
+
+12. **Estimate complexity per subtask**
+    - Low: <2 hours, well-understood, few dependencies
+    - Medium: 2-4 hours, some complexity, moderate dependencies
+    - High: >4 hours, novel approach, many dependencies (consider splitting)
+
+</decomposition_process>
+
+<decision_frameworks>
+
+## Atomicity Decision Framework
+
+```
+A subtask is ATOMIC if:
+
+CHECK: Can it be implemented independently?
+  - Does it require other subtasks to be complete first? → If yes, those are dependencies (OK)
+  - Does it need to be implemented alongside another subtask? → If yes, NOT atomic (merge them)
+
+CHECK: Can it be tested in isolation?
+  - Can we write a test that verifies ONLY this subtask's functionality?
+  - If test requires multiple subtasks' completion → NOT atomic
+
+CHECK: Does it have a single, clear responsibility?
+  - Can you describe it in one sentence without "and"?
+  - "Implement user model" → ATOMIC
+  - "Implement user model and validation logic" → NOT atomic (split into 2)
+
+CHECK: Is the scope reasonable?
+  - Implementation time < 4 hours?
+  - If >4 hours → TOO COARSE, break down further
+  - If <15 minutes → TOO GRANULAR, merge with related tasks
+
+IF all checks pass → ATOMIC
+ELSE → Split or merge
+```
+
+<rationale>
+Atomic subtasks enable:
+- **Parallel work**: Multiple developers can work simultaneously
+- **Clear progress**: Each completion is measurable progress
+- **Easy review**: Small, focused changes are easier to review
+- **Incremental value**: Can merge partial features
+- **Fault isolation**: If one fails, others aren't blocked
+
+Too coarse → hard to estimate, track, and review
+Too granular → overhead of task switching exceeds implementation time
+</rationale>
+
+<example type="atomicity_analysis">
+**Too Coarse** (NOT ATOMIC):
+"Implement user authentication system"
+- Why: Encompasses models, hashing, sessions, middleware, routes (5+ subtasks)
+- Takes: 2-3 days
+- Can't test in isolation
+- Blocks other work until fully complete
+
+**Too Granular** (NOT ATOMIC):
+"Add 'email' field to User model"
+- Why: Trivial, takes 2 minutes
+- Should be part of "Create User model with required fields"
+- Overhead of separate PR/review exceeds implementation time
+
+**Just Right** (ATOMIC):
+"Create User model with authentication fields"
+- Single responsibility: Define data structure
+- Independently implementable: Just the model file
+- Independently testable: Model validation tests
+- Reasonable scope: 1-2 hours
+- Clear acceptance: Model exists with specified fields, validations work
+</example>
+
+## Dependency Identification Framework
+
+```
+For each subtask, ask:
+
+1. "What must EXIST before implementing this?"
+   → Direct dependencies (must be completed first)
+
+2. "What will BREAK if we implement this now?"
+   → Missing prerequisites (add to dependencies)
+
+3. "What BENEFITS from this being complete?"
+   → Reverse dependencies (this subtask enables them)
+
+4. "Can this be implemented WITHOUT any other subtask?"
+   → No dependencies (can start immediately)
+
+Then classify:
+
+FOUNDATION subtasks (no dependencies):
+  - Data models/schemas
+  - Core utilities
+  - Configuration files
+  → Priority: Implement FIRST
+
+DEPENDENT subtasks (require foundations):
+  - Business logic (needs models)
+  - APIs (need business logic)
+  - UI (needs APIs)
+  → Priority: Implement AFTER dependencies
+
+PARALLEL subtasks (independent):
+  - Tests (can be written alongside implementation)
+  - Documentation (can be written independently)
+  - Different feature modules (no shared dependencies)
+  → Priority: Implement CONCURRENTLY
+```
+
+<example type="dependency_mapping">
+Feature: "Add email notifications"
+
+Subtask dependency analysis:
+
+**Subtask 1: Create EmailTemplate model**
+- Must exist before: Nothing
+- Dependencies: []
+- Type: FOUNDATION
+- Can start: Immediately
+
+**Subtask 2: Implement email sending service**
+- Must exist before: EmailTemplate model (to load templates)
+- Dependencies: [1]
+- Type: DEPENDENT
+- Can start: After subtask 1
+
+**Subtask 3: Add "send notification" API endpoint**
+- Must exist before: Email sending service (to call it)
+- Dependencies: [2]
+- Type: DEPENDENT
+- Can start: After subtask 2
+
+**Subtask 4: Write tests for email service**
+- Must exist before: Email service (to test it)
+- Dependencies: [2]
+- Type: PARALLEL (can write alongside subtask 2 implementation)
+- Can start: Same time as subtask 2
+
+**Subtask 5: Document email API**
+- Must exist before: API endpoint (to document it)
+- Dependencies: [3]
+- Type: PARALLEL (documentation doesn't block code)
+- Can start: Same time as subtask 3
+
+**Dependency graph**:
+```
+1 (EmailTemplate) → 2 (Email Service) → 3 (API)
+                         ↓                    ↓
+                    4 (Service Tests)   5 (API Docs)
+```
+
+**Implementation order**:
+1. Subtask 1 first (foundation)
+2. Subtasks 2 + 4 in parallel (dependent + tests)
+3. Subtasks 3 + 5 in parallel (API + docs)
+</example>
+
+## Complexity Estimation Framework
+
+```
+Estimate complexity based on:
+
+1. Novelty:
+   - Have we built something similar? (LOW)
+   - Adapting existing pattern? (MEDIUM)
+   - Novel algorithm/approach? (HIGH)
+
+2. Dependencies:
+   - 0-1 dependencies (LOW)
+   - 2-3 dependencies (MEDIUM)
+   - 4+ dependencies (HIGH - consider splitting)
+
+3. Scope:
+   - Single file, single function (LOW)
+   - Multiple files, single layer (MEDIUM)
+   - Multiple files, multiple layers (HIGH - consider splitting)
+
+4. Risk:
+   - Clear requirements, no unknowns (LOW)
+   - Some ambiguity, known workarounds (MEDIUM)
+   - Unclear requirements, many unknowns (HIGH - needs investigation subtask)
+
+IF (novelty=HIGH OR dependencies>=4 OR scope=multi-layer OR risk=HIGH):
+  → Complexity = HIGH
+  → CONSIDER: Split into smaller subtasks
+
+ELSE IF (novelty=MEDIUM OR dependencies=2-3 OR scope=multi-file):
+  → Complexity = MEDIUM
+
+ELSE:
+  → Complexity = LOW
+```
+
+<rationale>
+Accurate complexity estimation enables:
+- **Realistic planning**: Know what can be completed in a sprint
+- **Risk management**: High complexity = higher chance of delays
+- **Resource allocation**: Assign experienced devs to high complexity tasks
+- **Early risk mitigation**: High complexity might need research subtask first
+
+Under-estimation → Missed deadlines, rushed code
+Over-estimation → Paralysis, inefficiency
+Accurate estimation → Smooth delivery

+❌ **Vague descriptions**: "Add search feature" gives no implementation guidance
+❌ **Vague acceptance**: "Search works" is not testable or measurable
+❌ **Missing analysis**: No risks identified, no dependencies beyond code
+❌ **Non-atomic**: Can't implement "backend" and "frontend" independently
+❌ **No affected files precision**: "backend" is not a file path
+❌ **Missing subtasks**: No consideration of search indexing, ranking, pagination, filters

+✅ **Atomic subtasks**: Each is independently implementable and testable
+✅ **Clear descriptions**: Specific implementation approach mentioned
+✅ **Measurable acceptance**: Concrete criteria that can be verified
+✅ **Complete analysis**: Risks and dependencies identified
+✅ **Precise file paths**: Exact files that will be modified
+✅ **Proper dependencies**: Clear prerequisite relationships
+✅ **Realistic complexity**: Each subtask is 2-4 hours of work

+
+## CRITICAL: Common Decomposition Failures
+
+<critical>
+**NEVER create non-atomic subtasks**:
+- ❌ "Implement authentication system" (too coarse—encompasses 5+ subtasks)
+- ✅ "Create User model with password hashing" (atomic—single responsibility)
+
+**ALWAYS check atomicity**: Can this subtask be implemented and tested in isolation? If no, split it.
+</critical>
+
+<critical>
+**NEVER omit dependencies**:
+- ❌ Listing "Create API endpoint" and "Create model" as parallel (endpoint needs model)
+- ✅ Listing "Create model" first, then "Create API endpoint" depending on it
+
+**ALWAYS map dependencies**: What must exist before this subtask can be implemented?
+</critical>
+
+<critical>
+**NEVER write vague acceptance criteria**:
+- ❌ "Feature works" (not testable)
+- ❌ "Code is good" (not measurable)
+- ✅ "Endpoint returns 200 OK with expected JSON structure"
+- ✅ "Function handles all edge cases without errors"
+
+**ALWAYS write testable criteria**: How do we verify this subtask is complete?
+</critical>
+
+<critical>
+**NEVER skip risk analysis**:
+- ❌ Empty risks array when feature involves new infrastructure, external APIs, or complex algorithms
+- ✅ Identify: scalability concerns, external dependency availability, unclear requirements, performance implications
+
+**ALWAYS consider**: What could go wrong? What might we be missing?
+</critical>
+
+## Good vs Bad Decompositions
+
+### Good Decomposition
+```
+✅ Subtasks are atomic (independently implementable + testable)
+✅ Dependencies are explicit and accurate
+✅ Acceptance criteria are specific and measurable
+✅ File paths are precise (not "backend" or "frontend")
+✅ Complexity estimates are realistic (based on actual effort)
+✅ Risks are identified (not empty)
+✅ 5-8 subtasks (neither too granular nor too coarse)
+✅ Subtasks follow logical implementation order
+```
+
+### Bad Decomposition
+```
+❌ "Implement feature" (too coarse, not atomic)
+❌ "Add functionality and tests" (coupled, not atomic)
+❌ Missing dependencies (parallel subtasks that should be sequential)
+❌ "Tests pass" (vague acceptance criteria)
+❌ "Code" or "backend" (vague file paths)
+❌ All subtasks marked "low" complexity (unrealistic)
+❌ Empty risks array for complex feature
+❌ 2 giant subtasks or 20 tiny subtasks
+❌ Random order (subtask 5 must be done before subtask 2)

+### Subtask Ordering
+
+Subtasks should be ordered by dependency:
+1. Foundation subtasks (no dependencies) first
+2. Dependent subtasks after their prerequisites
+3. Tests/docs can be parallel with implementation (same dependency level)
