SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the manual effort of creating consistent per-work-package task prompt files by generating them directly from the existing work manifest.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Manifest-driven prompt generation: Reads wps.yaml and materializes feature_dir/tasks/WP*.md files for each work package.
  • Metadata completion: Populates each WP entry with owned_files, requirement_refs, subtasks, and prompt_file, and adds the required frontmatter fields to the generated prompts.
  • Safety rules for execution planning: Enforces a flat tasks/ directory (no status subfolders) and preserves any pre-existing dependencies values in wps.yaml.

Quick Start

Run spec-kitty to resolve the feature context for your mission, then generate per-WP prompt files and update wps.yaml with the filled-in fields.

Frequently Asked Questions about spec-kitty.tasks-packages

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate task prompt files from a YAML work manifest?

To generate task prompt files from a YAML work manifest, this Skill reads your existing wps.yaml definitions and materializes them into flat feature_dir/tasks/WP*.md files with required YAML frontmatter. It automates prompt generation directly from the manifest entries.

What is the best way to automate work package prompt creation for spec-kitty?

Automating work package prompt creation for spec-kitty involves reading complete WP definitions from wps.yaml and outputting flat tasks/WP*.md files. The process populates owned_files, requirement_refs, subtasks, and prompt_file fields automatically.

Does generating prompt files from wps.yaml alter existing dependency values?

Generating prompt files from wps.yaml does not alter existing dependency values. The process preserves any pre-existing authoritative dependencies in your wps.yaml manifest while adding metadata fields like owned_files and prompt_file to the entries.

Can I organize generated work package task files into status subfolders?

You cannot organize generated work package task files into status subfolders. The execution planning enforces a strict flat tasks/ directory structure, producing files like WP*.md directly under feature_dir/tasks without any nested status folders.

Do I need a complete work manifest before generating WP task prompts?

You need a complete work manifest in wps.yaml before generating WP task prompts. The Skill requires existing complete WP definitions for a specified mission context to properly materialize the owned files and prompt files without altering dependencies.
