SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Decomposes Spec Kit planning artifacts (plan.md and spec.md) into concrete, dependency-ordered tasks that can be executed and tracked.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a tasks.md from plan.md and spec.md to surface actionable work.
  • Group tasks by user story with clear dependencies and parallelization hints.
  • Use templates located in assets/ to ensure consistent formatting and structure across features.

Quick Start

Run the spec-kit-tasks workflow from the repository root to generate a ready-to-run tasks.md from plan.md and spec.md.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a tasks.md file from plan.md and spec.md?▼

Generate a tasks.md by running the workflow from the repository root; it decomposes plan.md and spec.md artifacts into concrete, dependency-ordered tasks grouped by user story.

What is the best way to turn Spec Kit plans into executable tasks?▼

Turn Spec Kit plans into executable tasks by applying template-driven generation to enforce consistent formatting, phase ordering, and per-user-story task phases aligned with repo conventions.

Do I need existing planning artifacts to create dependency-ordered tasks?▼

Yes, you need existing planning artifacts. The workflow applies to features where plan.md and spec.md exist but tasks.md is missing or stale, ensuring dependency-ordered per-user-story task phases.

Can I use templates to ensure consistent task formatting across features?▼

Yes, you can use templates located in the assets/ directory to ensure consistent formatting and structure across features when generating an executable tasks.md from plan.md and spec.md.

Why does my generated tasks.md include parallelization hints?▼

Generated tasks.md includes parallelization hints because the workflow groups tasks by user story with clear dependencies, allowing you to identify which tasks can be executed concurrently.

When should I regenerate a stale tasks.md from my Spec Kit plan?▼

Regenerate a stale tasks.md from your Spec Kit plan when existing tasks no longer reflect current plan.md or spec.md artifacts, ensuring executable tasks remain accurately dependency-ordered.
