Decompose the epic: 'Implement OAuth2 social login for GitHub and Google' into a dependency-aware task list for a React/Node.js stack. Focus on security and integration seams.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the epic decomposer
I have decomposed the OAuth2 social login epic into 5 structured tasks, identified integration seams, and mapped the critical path for implementation.
Implementation Backlog: OAuth2 Social Login
| ID | Task Name | Prerequisites | Inputs | Outputs | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | Provider App Registration | None | Client IDs, Redirect URIs | OAuth Secrets, Scopes | S |
| T2 | Auth Middleware & Strategy | T1 | Passport.js, App Secrets | JWT Logic, Session Store | M |
| T3 | Backend Login Endpoints | T2 | Callback URLs, DB Schema | User Record, Auth Token | M |
| T4 | Frontend Auth Provider | T3 | API Routes, Context API | Auth State, Protected HOC | M |
| T5 | Security Audit & Logging | T2, T3 | OWASP Checklist | Audit Logs, Rate Limiting | S |
Dependency Graph & Parallelization
- Critical Path: T1 -> T2 -> T3 -> T4.
- Parallel Work: T5 can begin as soon as T2 is complete, independent of frontend development.
- Integration Seam: The handoff between T3 and T4 requires a stable JWT structure and standardized error codes.
Risks and Decisions
- Session Management: Using stateless JWTs to avoid Redis overhead; requires careful token revocation strategy.
Scope Creep: Currently limited to GitHub and Google; adding more providers will require refactoring the strategy factory in T2.
- Data Privacy: PII from social providers must be encrypted at rest in T3.
Next steps
- Review the JWT structure in the handoff contract for T3/T4.
- Confirm redirect URIs for production and staging environments.
- Approve the complexity ratings before importing into the issue tracker.

About this skill
Software projects often stall when epics are too vague for direct implementation. This skill converts high-level business objectives into structured, dependency-aware task backlogs. It eliminates the ambiguity that leads to rework by defining strict handoff contracts and integration seams between features.
What it does
- Vertical slicing breaks epics into user-visible value increments rather than arbitrary code layers.
- Dependency mapping builds an acyclic graph to identify parallelization boundaries and the critical path.
- Handoff contracts define specific inputs, outputs, and touched areas for every developer-ready task.
- Risk assessment generates a register of non-functional requirements, migrations, and observability needs.
- Complexity scoring assigns relative S/M/L effort values without fabricating unsupported time estimates.
How it works
- Provide the business outcome, system boundaries, and any known constraints or definitions of done.
- The skill identifies unknowns and slices the epic into logical features based on integration seams.
- Review the generated acyclic dependency graph to see which tasks can be parallelized safely.
- Export the structured backlog, complete with acceptance checks and risk profiles for each task.
Frameworks & tools
This tool is platform-agnostic and works with any project management stack, including Jira, GitHub Issues, or Linear. It follows vendor-neutral logic for task decomposition.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often produce flat task lists that ignore race conditions and integration risks. This skill enforces a structured dependency DAG and explicit handoff contracts, ensuring that tasks are actually ready for implementation without further clarification.
Use cases
- Decomposing a monolithic feature into a sprint-ready backlog.
- Mapping technical dependencies for a multi-agent or multi-developer team.
- Identifying integration risks and omitted non-functional requirements in new projects.
- Creating verifiable acceptance criteria for complex engineering epics.
Known limitations
Does not provide time-based estimates or schedule dates. Does not perform actual code execution or file modifications without explicit external tool access.
