SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Break down a change into an actionable task checklist by converting proposals, specs, and designs into a structured tasks.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automates generation of a TASK BREAKDOWN (tasks.md) from design artifacts.
Organizes work into phase-based tasks with concrete, actionable items.
Use Case: You receive a change proposal; the skill outputs a ready-to-run tasks.md with dependencies, ordering, and phase structure.

Quick Start

Provide the orchestrator with the proposal.md, the delta specs from specs/, the design.md, and the openspec/config.yaml file to generate openspec/changes/{change-name}/tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a task checklist from a change proposal and design docs?▼

To generate a task checklist, provide the proposal.md, delta specs, and design.md to convert design artifacts into a structured tasks.md file with phase-based, dependency-aware items.

What is a phase-based task breakdown for engineering projects?▼

A phase-based task breakdown organizes project work into sequential stages, producing a tasks.md file that guides execution from planning to delivery with concrete, actionable items and dependency ordering.

How do I structure tasks.md for an openspec change workflow?▼

You structure tasks.md by applying the openspec change workflow, placing the file at openspec/changes/{change-name}/tasks.md and enforcing a phased, dependency-aware task layout using the config.yaml persistence modes.

Do I need openspec/config.yaml to manage task persistence modes?▼

Yes, you need openspec/config.yaml to manage persistence modes when generating the task breakdown, as it configures how the structured tasks.md is produced and maintained across change workflows.

Can I convert requirements analysis and specs into actionable engineering tasks?▼

Yes, you can convert requirements analysis and delta specs into actionable engineering tasks by processing the provided design artifacts to output a ready-to-run tasks.md with dependencies and phase structure.

What's the best way to break down software changes into dependency-aware tasks?▼

The best way to break down changes is converting proposals and designs into a structured tasks.md, applying a phased workflow that enforces dependency-aware layout and guides execution from planning to delivery.
