# Task Generation from PRD Workflow

## Overview

This workflow converts Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into actionable, granular development tasks that can be systematically implemented. The output is a structured task list that breaks down complex features into manageable sub-tasks.

## Process

### Step 1: PRD Analysis

1. Read and analyze the complete PRD
2. Identify all functional requirements
3. Map out dependencies between features
4. Consider technical implementation needs

### Step 2: Task Decomposition

Break down the PRD into logical groups:

#### Core Categories

- **Setup & Infrastructure**: Project setup, dependencies, configuration
- **Data Layer**: Database schema, models, data access
- **Business Logic**: Core functionality, algorithms, processing
- **API/Services**: External integrations, service layers
- **User Interface**: Frontend components, user interactions
- **Testing**: Unit tests, integration tests, validation
- **Documentation**: Code docs, user guides, deployment notes

#### Task Granularity

- Each task should be completable in 1-4 hours
- Tasks should have clear, measurable outcomes
- Sub-tasks should be specific and actionable
- Include verification steps for each task

### Step 3: Task List Format
