Context-Aware Task Decomposition

Self-regulate task size based on context window capacity. When generating multi-step work, estimate if it fits in the remaining context and decompose accordingly.

Decision Flow

Is the task > 10 steps or likely > 2000 lines?
  ├─ Yes: Decompose into sub-tasks, dispatch via delegate_task()
  │       Each sub-task gets its own full context window
  └─ No: Execute directly

When to Decompose

Complex code generation (multi-file)
Long research with many sources
Refactoring across multiple modules
Any task with > 5 independent sub-steps

Decomposition Template

## Task: [name]
### Sub-task 1: [specific deliverable]
### Sub-task 2: [specific deliverable]
### Sub-task 3: [specific deliverable]
### Merge & Verify

Each sub-task becomes a delegate_task() call with its own context.
