# Atomic Decomposition

Decompose research ideas into atomic concepts with math formula <-> code implementation mapping.

## Input

- `$0` — Research idea, paper, or method description

## References

- Decomposition prompts and workflow: `~/.claude/skills/atomic-decomposition/references/decomposition-prompts.md`

## Workflow (from AI-Researcher Survey Agent)

### Step 1: Break Down into Atomic Definitions
Analyze the research idea and decompose into atomic, self-contained concepts:
- Each atom should be a single concept
- Must have clear mathematical foundations
- Must be implementable in cod...

Frequently asked questions

What input does the skill require?

The skill requires a research idea, paper, or method description as an argument.

How does the skill verify research concepts?

It mandates that every mathematical concept must have a verified code implementation and every code module must trace back to a formal mathematical definition.

What is the output format for a knowledge entry?

The skill produces a JSON object containing the definition, LaTeX math formula, code implementation, reference papers, reference codebases, assumptions, and connections.
