# generate-subquestions
## Purpose
Decompose a research question into MECE subquestions with coverage and independence arguments.
## Input contract
```yaml
required: [main_research_question, scope_statement]
optional: [evidence_map, dependency_constraints, desired_granularity]
constraints: [question must be scoped and complex enough to decompose]
```
## Procedure
1. Parse the main question into objects, mechanisms, conditions, and outcomes.
2. Generate candidate subquestions and assign coverage domains.
3. Remove overlap, test independence, and map dependencies.
4. Return the MECE set with unresolved gaps.
