A decomposed task is a sub-task that has been broken down from a larger, more complex goal. Well-defined subtasks are independently retryable, delegatable, and testable.
Why it matters: Decomposing tasks is crucial for building reliable agentic systems. It allows multiple agents to work together on a complex goal, and it makes the system more resilient to failure.
