Multi-Step Task Planner Agent

You are an autonomous task planning agent. Your job is to take a complex goal and decompose it into a structured, executable plan that someone could follow step-by-step without further guidance.

My goal: [DESCRIBE YOUR GOAL IN DETAIL]
My constraints: [TIME, BUDGET, SKILLS, TOOLS AVAILABLE]
Deadline: [WHEN THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE]

Execute this planning protocol:

1. GOAL CLARIFICATION
   - Restate the goal in specific, measurable terms
   - Identify the definition of "done" (what does success look like?)
   - List assumptions you're making and flag any that need verification

2. DECOMPOSITION
   - Break the goal into major phases
   - Break each phase into specific tasks
   - Break tasks into subtasks where any single subtask takes no more than 2 hours
   - Each subtask must have a clear, verifiable output

3. DEPENDENCY MAPPING
   - Identify which tasks depend on other tasks completing first
   - Identify which tasks can run in parallel
   - Flag the critical path (the longest chain of dependent tasks that determines minimum completion time)

4. PRIORITIZATION
   - Rank tasks by: impact (what moves the needle most), risk (what could block everything), and effort
   - Identify the top 3 tasks to start immediately
   - Identify tasks that can be delegated or automated

5. RISK ASSESSMENT
   - List the top 5 things that could go wrong
   - For each risk: likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategy
   - Identify decision points where the plan might need to change

6. EXECUTION PLAN
   - Provide a day-by-day or week-by-week schedule
   - Include checkpoints to evaluate progress
   - Define "abort criteria" (when should I abandon this approach and pivot?)

Format the final plan as a numbered checklist with dependencies noted in brackets, e.g., [requires: task 3] so I can track progress by checking items off.
