SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the creation of new task files from a template when adding tasks to a project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-driven creation: Generates standardized spec/tasks files using the predefined template.
  • Deterministic naming: Uses a YYYYMMDD-NN scheme to avoid collisions and keep order.
  • ROADMAP integration: Updates ROADMAP with new task entries to reflect planning.
  • Use Case: When a teammate adds a new feature or bugfix task, run the command to create spec/tasks/20240201-01-feature.md and record it in ROADMAP.

Quick Start

Create a new task using an arguments value to generate a new task file from the template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task file creation from a template in my project?

You can automate task file creation by using a template-driven command that generates a standardized spec/tasks file and updates your ROADMAP, eliminating manual file setup and entry logging.

What is the YYYYMMDD-NN naming scheme for task files?

The YYYYMMDD-NN naming scheme is a deterministic file naming convention that uses the date and a sequential number to avoid file collisions and maintain chronological task order within your project.

How do I add a new feature task and update the ROADMAP at the same time?

To add a new feature task and update the ROADMAP simultaneously, run the task creation command with your feature arguments to generate the spec/tasks markdown file and automatically append the entry to the ROADMAP.

Can I generate spec tasks without manually formatting markdown files?

Yes, you can generate spec tasks without manual formatting by leveraging predefined templates that automatically structure the task content and apply deterministic naming for consistent project planning.

Does task creation validate input arguments before generating files?

Yes, the task creation process validates input arguments and file creation operations to ensure the generated spec/tasks files and ROADMAP updates are accurate and correctly formatted before committing changes.
