What problem does it solve?
This Skill converts approved requirements and design artifacts into an executable, reviewable tasks.md that maps numeric requirement IDs to concrete 1-3 hour implementation tasks while enforcing boundaries, dependencies, and parallelization rules.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Requirement-to-task mapping: Ensures every numeric requirement ID appears in at least one task and that tasks include observable done criteria.
- Sizing, boundaries, and dependencies: Sizes tasks to 1-3 hours, annotates architecture boundaries, and records explicit cross-boundary dependencies and parallel
(P) markers when safe.
- Quality gates and outputs: Runs a task-plan review gate and an independent task-graph sanity review, merges with existing tasks.md when present, writes
tasks.md, and updates spec.json metadata and approvals; supports auto-approval flags for unattended runs.
- Use Case: Prepare a feature spec for autonomous implementation by producing a validated task graph and ready-to-run implementation plan.
Quick Start
Run the kiro-spec-tasks skill for the desired feature to generate tasks.md, perform the task-plan sanity checks, and update spec.json accordingly.
