Task decomposition is the most important aspect of software design and SDLC.

Hopefully, your GitHub tickets are large enough, such as covering one vertical scope, one cross-cutting function, or some reactive work such as bug fixing or troubleshooting.

The reason is that coding agents are good at decomposing work into small tasks/TODO lists. IMO, too many tickets on GitHub will interfere with this.

I agree wholeheartedly!

When we break down an epics into tasks, we get CC to analyze what can be run in parallel and use each issue as a conceptual grouping of smaller tasks, so multiple agents can work on the same issue in parallel.

The issues are relatively large, and depending on the feature, every epic has between 5 to 15 issues. When it's time to work on the issue, your local cloud code will break it down into minute tasks to carry out sequentially.
