SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates carrying out a project's implementation plan by reading a tasks.md execution plan, verifying prerequisites, and running the specified tasks so maintainers do not have to manually orchestrate multi-step implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrated Task Execution: Parses tasks.md and plan.md, enforces phase order, dependencies, and parallel markers to run tasks reliably.
  • Project Verification & Setup: Runs prerequisite scripts, verifies checklists, ensures ignore files, and validates project setup before implementation.
  • Hooks & Progress Tracking: Detects pre/post extension hooks, reports progress, marks completed tasks in the tasks file, and halts on critical failures.
  • Use Case: Apply this to a spec-kit repository to automate setup, test-driven development tasks, integration steps, and final validation across multiple phases.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-implement skill with optional guidance to process tasks.md and execute the implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate executing an implementation plan defined in tasks.md?

To automate tasks.md execution, this Skill parses the file, verifies prerequisites, and runs specified tasks sequentially or in parallel. It enforces phase order and dependencies to orchestrate multi-step implementations reliably without manual intervention.

How does task dependency and parallel execution work in spec-kit projects?

Spec-kit task execution enforces phase order and honors task dependencies alongside parallel markers defined in tasks.md. This ensures prerequisite scripts and checklists validate before running dependent tasks, updating statuses upon completion.

Do I need a .specify directory to run implementation plans in my repository?

Yes, a .specify directory is required. This Skill applies specifically to spec-kit projects containing this directory to orchestrate setup, test-driven development tasks, integration steps, and final validation across multiple project phases.

Can I use custom hooks during the implementation plan execution?

Yes, the implementation execution detects and invokes pre and post extension hooks. It reports progress, marks completed tasks in the tasks file, and halts on critical failures to ensure reliable plan execution.

What happens when a prerequisite script or checklist validation fails during task execution?

When prerequisite scripts or checklist validations fail during task execution, the implementation process halts on critical failures. It verifies project setup and ignore files before executing tasks to prevent incomplete implementations.
