To generate dependency-ordered tasks from spec.md and plan.md files, you run a spec task generator on your repository to map design artifacts to user stories and produce a draft tasks.md checklist.

Yes, you can automatically map project specifications to user stories for task generation by applying a task generator to your existing plan.md and spec.md files, which organizes work items into US1, US2, and US3 phases.

The best way to structure task checklists by user story phases is to use a spec-tasks automation tool that labels tasks with setup, foundational, and story phases based on your available design documents.

Task generation from design artifacts supports optional risk-mitigation planning by enabling risk analysis, which strengthens your project management workflow by appending targeted risk-mitigation tasks to the output.

You do not need optional design documents to create an actionable task roadmap; a project requires only plan.md and spec.md files to map work items to user stories and generate the dependency-ordered outline.

You should automate user story task generation for SDLC workflows when your repository contains plan.md and spec.md files and you need to transform static design artifacts into actionable, dependency-ordered task roadmaps.
