Was AI task decomposition just a way to give a larger model better context?
Why I askedI had assumed a classifier's main job was filtering information before a larger model saw it. I wanted to understand what changed when software owned the workflow.
What I learnedI learned to separate model judgments from the code that stored state and chose actions. A more detailed prompt still left the model in charge; explicit state and rules made parts of the process inspectable and testable.
