# crackthe.work Decompose

> crackthe.work Decompose is a paid API for AI agents from x402.crackthe.work, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Accepts one or more project documents and returns a contract-grade work breakdown structure (WBS) scoped from those documents.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability crackthe-work-decompose-d05ceeef -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take these project specification documents and decompose them into a contract-grade work breakdown structure — use decompose mode and keep the budget under $5,000.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to convert unstructured project documents (SOWs, RFPs, specs, briefs) into a structured, contract-ready work breakdown in a single API call. Prefer it over manual decomposition or generic LLM prompting when you need consistent, structured WBS output with document ingestion built in.

## Known failure modes

- No documents provided (minItems:1 violation) — request rejected
- More than 8 documents submitted (maxItems:8 violation) — request rejected
- Invalid or corrupt base64 data — processing error
- Unsupported MIME type — document may not be parsed correctly
- Invalid mode enum value — request rejected
- Insufficient payment (x402 payment required at $0.25 USDC) — 402 response

## How this service works

One decompose call: scope documents in, a contract-grade work breakdown out.

## Output

A contract-grade work breakdown structure derived from the submitted documents, listing scoped tasks, deliverables, and work packages organized for project planning or contracting purposes.
