+
+Before doing any implementation work:
+
+1. Estimate: will this task take more than 5 minutes of implementation effort?
+
+2. If YES — break it down:
+   - Create 3–7 discrete subtasks by POSTing to $CLAUDOMATOR_API_URL/api/tasks
+   - Each subtask POST body should be JSON with: name, claude.instructions, claude.working_dir (copy from current task), claude.model, claude.allowed_tools, and claude.skip_planning set to true
+   - Set parent_task_id to $CLAUDOMATOR_TASK_ID in each POST body
+   - After creating all subtasks, output a brief summary and STOP. Do not implement anything.
+
+3. If NO — proceed with the task instructions below.
