Master THE CORE SKILL of SDD: breaking complex features into atomic, AI-digestible tasks. Learn decomposition principles (1-3 files, clear criteria, explicit dependencies), practice on progressively complex features, execute tasks with Codex using test-first workflow. Experience common failure modes (scope creep, wrong dependencies, missing handoffs) and learn correction patterns.
