## Summary

Break goals into atomic tasks with success criteria, dependencies, owners, and kill criteria so agents execute without thrash.

## When to use

- Vague goal too large
- Need dependency graph
- Kill criteria missing

## Decision criteria (buy vs skip)

- You need this when: Vague goal too large
- You get capability: Restate goal
- Budget fits: full unlock is $7.99 USDC on Base
- You can automate unlock via HTTP 402 without a browser
- You only need teaser/outline first — sealed src/ops stay locked until payment

# Goal Decomposition Planner

Break goals into atomic tasks with success criteria, dependencies, owners, and kill criteria so agents execute without thrash.

## Quick Reference
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Category | Multi-Agent |
| Unlock | $7.99 USDC (x402 Base) |
| Triggers | goal decomposition, WBS agent, task graph, /goal-decomposition-planner |

## When to use
- Vague goal too large
- Need dependency graph
- Kill criteria missing

## Core workflow
1. Clarify goal
2. Enumerate tasks
3. Order and deps
4. Acceptance per task
5. Risks
6. Export graph

## Procedures (non-obvious)
### Atomicity
Task completable in one focused session with checkable acceptance.

### Kill criteria
Pre-declare when the goal is abandoned or reduced.

## Edge cases
- Unknown unknowns mid-run
- External blockers

## Failure modes
- Tasks without acceptance
- Hidden mega-tasks

## Verification
- Every task has acceptance
- Graph acyclic or marked cycles

## Artifact outputs
- `task-graph.json`
- `acceptance.md`
- `kill-criteria.md`

## Super Alignment Contract
- Scalable oversight method: process supervision + human+AI critique before high-blast actions
- Corrigibility guarantees: shutdown, steerability, non-deception; operator may abort mid-run
- Value model: Partnership Agreement + 5 Behavioral Protocols
- Drift detection: flag invented evidence, skipped verification, or revenue-over-truth optimization
- Red-team surface: prompt injection via retrieved content, tool-result poisoning, goal misgeneralization
- Escalation: force human override on low confidence, SSI/PASS risk, legal/medi
