When the right foot goes for the break, the left foot automatically starts for the clutch to begin downshifting.
i fell into the habit of putting my left foot on the clutch even when there wasn't one...it because automatic, you get so used to it.

as for downshifting, never really do that. coming to a stop, i just put it in neutral.
