You can automate task execution from tasks.md by orchestrating multi-phase execution that parses the file to coordinate Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish phases with dependency-driven sequencing.

Specification-driven implementation automates end-to-end execution by parsing tasks.md and plan.md to enforce task dependencies, allowing parallel execution where possible while maintaining real-time progress reporting and error handling.

Yes, a .specify directory with associated artifacts like tasks.md and plan.md is required to guide automated work, apply validation via quality gates, and execute post-implementation extension hooks.

Spec-kit workflows support TDD alignment and asynchronous task delegation by interpreting tasks.md to sequence dependencies and coordinate multi-phase execution with real-time progress reporting.

The best way to coordinate phase-based execution is to parse tasks.md to orchestrate these specific phases sequentially, enforcing dependencies while applying automated quality gates for validation between each phase.

Task execution fails because specification-driven implementation enforces strict dependency-driven sequencing from tasks.md, preventing out-of-order execution and halting the workflow if prerequisite tasks are incomplete.
