Decompose a spec document (architecture, roadmap, wave plan) into a ranked list of candidate parcels ready for parcel-generate. Given a goal and a spec, produce parcel IDs with scope, dependencies, estimated duration, and parallel-safe groupings — the upstream half of the parcel-generate pipeline. Triggers on: plan parcels, decompose spec, parcel breakdown, wave plan, parcel sequencing, what parcels do we need, spec to parcels, parcel decomposition, fleet wave plan.

From the source SKILL.md

Bundled with rookery and works against any rookery project — the parcel format and worktree layout are documented in rookery's README, and this skill pairs naturally with rookery-daemon (the orchestrator daemon) and the rest of the parcel-* family. It was originally extracted from the Axiom build but is no longer Axiom-specific.
