decomposing-tasks
Use when you have a complete feature spec and need to plan implementation - analyzes task dependencies, groups into sequential/parallel phases, validates task quality (no XL tasks, explicit files), and calculates parallelization time savings
roadmap-backcast
Use when planning with fixed deadline or target outcome, working backward from future goal to present, defining milestones and dependencies, mapping critical path, identifying what must happen when, planning product launches with hard dates, multi-year strategic roadmaps, event planning, transformation initiatives, or when user mentions "backcast", "work backward from", "reverse planning", "we need to launch by", "target date is", or "what needs to happen to reach".
dependency-tracking
Map, track, and manage project dependencies across teams, systems, and organizations. Identify critical path items and prevent blocking issues through proactive dependency management.
