What Decompose does

Performs a five-lens decomposition of project stories to define architecture, record persistent schema decisions, and plan the first slice. Use after repo seeding or when foundational decisions need revisiting.

Decompose is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Decompose comes from a repository tagged agentic-coding, agile, ai-agents, ai-assisted-development and claude.

Excerpt

X2 Decompose (D-000)

The one place where the model's whole-solution-space view beats the human's slice-by-slice view, and the decisions a slice cannot cheaply reverse. Everything else stays reversible and waits.

The five-lens session

Decompose the story set under five imposed lenses, one pass each, no code: data flow, failure domain, change frequency, team boundary, trust boundary. Look at what disagrees between the five decompositions; the disagreements are where the real shape decision lives. Choose a shape. Record the choice and the four rejected shapes with reasons as D-000-decomposition.md in docs/decisions/.

D-000 also records:
