ProjectDecompose: Breaking Down Complex Projects Into Deliverables

Have you ever stared at a project and thought, “This is huge. Where do I even start?”

That moment—where the scope feels overwhelming and the path forward is unclear—is where most projects stall. Not because the vision is bad, but because it lives in your head as a vague cloud rather than a concrete set of steps.

I just updated a tool to solve this: ProjectDecompose, a reusable skill that systematically breaks down any personal or work project into structured, actionable deliverables using three complementary frameworks.

The Promise I Made to Myself

In my last post about building the PDF to Markdown converter , I listed some “what’s next” ideas at the end. One of them was:

FastAPI wrapper: Create an HTTP API for web apps to use

Well, I did it. And I went a step further — I built a full drag-and-drop web UI on top of it.

The CLI still works exactly as before. This is an addition, not a replacement. But now when I want to convert a batch of PDFs without thinking about terminal commands, I just open a browser tab.

The Problem: PDFs Are Knowledge Prisons

You know that feeling when you download a brilliant research paper, only to realize you can’t easily feed it into your AI workflow? Or when you want to add documentation to your knowledge base, but it’s locked in a format that doesn’t play well with version control or LLM tools?

Yeah, I was there last week.

I had just downloaded a fascinating 1.3MB research paper on Generative Engine Optimization and wanted to process it with my AI tools. But PDFs are terrible for this. They’re designed for printing, not for processing. What I needed was Markdown—clean, portable, AI-friendly Markdown.
