SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the decomposition of implementation plans into actionable, dependency-ordered task lists, enabling teams to translate strategy into concrete work streams and track progress across phases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates context gathering by requiring prerequisite documents (spec.md and plan.md) before task generation.
  • Delegates parsing and task creation to specialized roles (WBS Generator and Task Tracker) to produce a validated tasks.md.
  • Produces a concise dependency-aware view of work items, including parallelizable tasks, to guide scheduling and risk assessment.

Quick Start

Run the generate-tasks workflow after ensuring spec.md and plan.md exist in your feature directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about generate-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from an implementation plan?▼

You need prerequisite spec.md and plan.md files in your feature directory. The workflow enforces prerequisite checks for both spec and plan documents before allowing task generation to proceed.

How does automated task decomposition handle parallelizable tasks?▼

Task decomposition produces a concise dependency-aware view of work items. It outputs a consolidated tasks.md file that translates implementation plans into ordered, actionable work streams to guide scheduling and track progress across phases.

Can I use this workflow to track progress across feature development phases?▼

This workflow is specifically applied to feature development workflows where specs and plans are available. It automates the decomposition of implementation plans into actionable, dependency-ordered task lists to coordinate work across development phases.

What is the best way to turn plans into actionable tasks?▼

You must have prerequisite spec.md and plan.md documents existing in your feature directory before running the workflow. The system enforces prerequisite checks for both the spec and plan, halting task generation if they are missing.
