Decomposition makes a complex request easier for an LLM by dividing it into smaller, ordered subtasks. section 3.2
Use decomposition to turn a broad request into a structured workflow:
- Identify the overall goal. section 3.2
- Split the goal into focused subtasks. section 3.2
- Order the subtasks so each response supports the next. section 3.2
Business-plan request
Replace “Help me create a business plan” with “List the key sections of a business plan. Then, outline the goals for each section.” The narrower sequence reduces confusion and encourages a structured response. section 3.2
