SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the creation of structured code task files from rough descriptions, ideas, or PDD implementation plans.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically detects input mode (description or plan) and generates code-task files in the official Code Task Format.
  • Creates YAML frontmatter and task content that can be consumed by Ralph and code assistants for rapid implementation.
  • Supports stepwise planning for PDD-like workflows, enabling incremental task breakdown and tracking.

Quick Start

Use the code-task-generator to create a new step task from a plan or description.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate structured code task files from rough ideas?

To generate structured code task files from rough ideas, use an automated task generator that detects input descriptions and outputs documents following the official Code Task Format with required YAML frontmatter.

What is PDD stepwise planning for code task generation?

PDD stepwise planning is a workflow that enables incremental task breakdown and tracking. It processes PDD implementation plans to automatically generate properly formatted code-task documents for each incremental step.

Does the generated code task document include YAML frontmatter for status tracking?

Yes, the generated code task document enforces required YAML frontmatter including status, created, started, and completed fields, ensuring comprehensive task tracking and acceptance criteria with unit test guidance.

Can I use a PDD implementation plan as input for code task generation?

Yes, you can use a PDD implementation plan as input. The generator automatically detects the input mode, whether it is a rough description or a PDD plan, and creates the corresponding structured code task files.

What is the best way to automate code task creation for code assistants?

The best way to automate code task creation for code assistants is generating standardized task content with YAML frontmatter and acceptance criteria, which allows assistants like Ralph to consume the documents for rapid implementation.

Are there limitations when generating code task docs from plain descriptions?

When generating code task docs from plain descriptions, the main limitation is that the output strictly adheres to the standardized Code Task Format, meaning the input description must be sufficiently detailed to produce comprehensive acceptance criteria.
