spec-kitty.tasks-outline

To generate a work package manifest, use the `/spec-kitty.tasks-outline` command followed by your project directory to automatically create a structured `wps.yaml` file. This defines work package metadata, dependencies, and file ownership for efficient task management.

A work package manifest is a structured YAML file that defines project metadata, task dependencies, and file ownership. You need one to streamline project planning, ensure detailed quality planning, and establish a clear foundation for feature success.

You can create a `tasks.md` file automatically by running the `/spec-kitty.tasks-outline` command. It reads your `wps.yaml` work package manifest and eliminates manual document creation by auto-generating the task list directly from the structured data.

Yes, you can provide user input when invoking the command to tailor the work package manifest accordingly. This allows the generated `wps.yaml` and `tasks.md` files to align with specific project requirements and user input considerations.

No dependencies are required to automate task management manifest generation. You simply run the command in your project directory to generate the `wps.yaml` and `tasks.md` files without needing additional libraries or external tools.

The automation relies entirely on structured YAML for metadata definition and dependencies mapping, meaning unstructured project notes will not translate correctly. It emphasizes critical planning work, so poor initial project definitions will result in inadequate manifest outputs.
