Breaking Big Goals into Steps

Human approach: "Plan a study group" → brain automatically breaks this down:

  1. Who should attend?
  2. When are people free?
  3. Where should we meet?
  4. What materials do we need?
  5. How do we invite everyone?

Agent approach: Same decomposition, but made explicit:

Goal: Plan study group
├─ Subtask 1: Get list of classmates
├─ Subtask 2: Check everyone's availability
├─ Subtask 3: Find location/virtual room
├─ Subtask 4: Compile study materials
└─ Subtask 5: Send invitations

The skill: Breaking complex goals into executable actions.
