Break down vague or stuck projects into concrete, estimable, testable subtasks with dependencies.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Debug this project breakdown:

Original goal: {{goal}}
Current breakdown: {{breakdown}}
Why it's stuck: {{blocker}}
Team skills: {{skills}}

Rework into:
1. Terminal tasks (<=1 day each, specific output)
2. Explicit dependencies (which tasks block others?)
3. Test criteria (how is each task done?)
4. Role assignments (who best suited for each?)
5. Risk flags (what could go wrong per task?)

Format as a DAG (task order matters). Estimate total time given team capacity.
