Agentic Task-Decomposition Validation

Reliability · updated Fri Feb 27

Ensure agents decompose complex goals into verifiable sub-tasks without losing context or safety.

Steps

  1. Verify that the agent identifies at least 3 distinct sub-goals for any 'High-Complexity' task.
  2. Check for 'Step-Dependency Mapping': Does Step 2 explicitly require the output of Step 1?
  3. Audit for 'Plan Drift'—where the agent changes the primary goal during decomposition.
  4. Enforce a 'Pre-Flight Consistency Check' between the raw prompt and the generated plan.
  5. Limit maximum decomposition depth to 5 layers to prevent infinite recursion/loops.
