What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of granular, actionable task files from approved Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), streamlining the transition from planning to implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Generation: Breaks down a PRD into individual task files, each representing a specific requirement or user story.
  • Structured Task Format: Ensures all generated tasks follow a consistent, detailed format including acceptance criteria, implementation notes, and dependencies.
  • Use Case: After a PRD for a new feature is approved, use this Skill to automatically create all the necessary development tasks, assign them to developers, and update the project tracking system.

Quick Start

Use the prd-tasks skill to generate task files for the PRD located at docs/prds/PRD-001-new-feature.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate tasks from a PRD automatically?

To generate tasks from a PRD, you provide an approved Product Requirement Document file path. The skill parses the requirements, performs codebase pre-research, and outputs structured individual task files in a designated directory.

What is the best way to break down large user stories from requirements documents?

Breaking down large user stories is handled by parsing the approved requirements document and splitting the content into granular, actionable task files. Each task file includes specific acceptance criteria, implementation notes, and dependencies.

Can I update PRD status in an index file during task generation?

Yes, updating PRD status in an index file is supported during task generation. When the skill parses requirements and creates individual task files, it also updates the tracking index to reflect the new workflow state.

Do I need an approved PRD before creating development tasks?

Yes, an approved Product Requirement Document is required. The skill specifically parses approved PRD requirements to ensure the generated task files represent finalized implementation goals ready for development.

Does the task generation process analyze the codebase beforehand?

Yes, the task generation process performs pre-research on codebase specifics. It analyzes your existing codebase before creating structured task files to ensure the generated development tasks align with your current architecture.

What format do the generated task files follow?

The generated task files follow a structured, detailed format. Each file represents a specific requirement or user story and includes consistent sections for acceptance criteria, implementation notes, and dependencies.
