Identify logical boundaries for subtasks\n2. Ensure each subtask is independently executable\n3. Define clear dependencies between subtasks\n4. Use the `split_tasks` tool to create the subtasks with:\n - Clear individual descriptions\n - Defined dependencies between subtasks\n - Proper sequencing for execution\n\nDocument your evaluation conclusion before proceeding with task execution or splitting.\n```",
