analysis-decompose

Break complex problems into manageable components for systematic analysis, useful for large projects, complex systems, or any situation that benefits from structural division. Use when: (1) the problem involves interdependent components or subsystems, (2) before explaining a complex system to structure the explanation around clear components, (3) the request involves addressing distinct concerns simultaneously without clear boundaries, (4) before estimating effort or timelines to ensure all components and dependencies are accounted for, (5) planning implementation work to identify what can proceed in parallel versus sequentially, (6) before delegating or distributing work to create clear boundaries between components, (7) debugging issues that span system layers or could have multiple potential causes, (8) before writing documentation for complex systems to organize information around natural component boundaries
