1. What is the core idea behind "Agent Task Decomposition: Breaking Big Tasks Into Steps"?

   1. Big tasks fail when given to agents whole. Decomposition into steps is often the difference between success and failure.
   2. Agents loop, and every loop iteration uses tokens — that's why agentic costs add…
   3. Human approval required if same action retried
   4. When an agent drives a browser, scope its profile, cookies, and reachable origin…

2. Which term best describes a foundational idea in "Agent Task Decomposition: Breaking Big Tasks Into Steps"?

   1. step planning
   2. task decomposition
   3. reliability
   4. Agents loop, and every loop iteration uses tokens — that's why agentic costs add…
