# GTD Work Breakdown (org-agent-memex-workbreakdown)
|
|
|
|
Meta-cognitive skill to prevent AI assistants and users from stalling on complex tasks. Forces atomic decomposition before execution.
|
|
|
|
## The Problem
|
|
|
|
Complex tasks cause:
|
|
- Context saturation (procrastination)
|
|
- Scope creep (adding "just one more thing")
|
|
- The "heartbeat loop" (repeating tasks without progress)
|
|
- Overwhelm and hesitation
|
|
|
|
## The Solution
|
|
|
|
**Decompose first, execute second.**
|
|
|
|
1. Analyze task complexity (>3 steps? >2 files?)
|
|
2. Break into atomic TODOs in GTD.org
|
|
3. Execute only the FIRST item
|
|
4. Yield back to user
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Uses same `.env` structure as other org-agent-memex skills:
|
|
- `MEMEX_DIR`
|
|
- `MEMEX_USER`
|
|
- `MEMEX_ASSISTANT`
|
|
- `CURRENT_TEXT_MANIPULATION_MODEL`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
When a task feels complex:
|
|
1. Ask AI: "Break this down with Work Breakdown skill"
|
|
2. AI creates TODOs in GTD.org
|
|
3. Execute only first item
|
|
4. Report: "[X] Completed step 1. 4 tasks remaining. Continue?"
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Patterns This Prevents
|
|
|
|
- "I'll just do it all at once"
|
|
- Editing 5+ files before committing
|
|
- Writing conditional logic on the fly
|
|
- "Let me think about it..." (stalling) |
