SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the execution of implementation plans in spec-kit projects, streamlining the process of processing and executing tasks defined in tasks.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Execution: Processes and executes all tasks defined in tasks.md.
  • Pre-Execution Checks: Performs checks for extension hooks, prerequisites, and checklist status.
  • Implementation Context: Loads and analyzes implementation context including tasks, plans, and data models.
  • Project Setup Verification: Verifies project setup including ignore files and required configurations.
  • Task Parsing and Execution: Parses tasks.md for task phases, dependencies, and details, then executes the implementation plan.
  • Progress Tracking and Error Handling: Tracks progress and handles errors during task execution.
  • Completion Validation: Validates that all required tasks are completed and implemented features match specifications.

Quick Start

Run the 'speckit-implement' skill with optional implementation guidance or task filter: speckit-implement [implementation guidance].

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task execution for implementation plans in spec-kit projects?

Automating task execution in spec-kit projects requires parsing tasks.md for phases and dependencies, running pre-execution checks, and validating completion against specifications. This Skill automates that entire workflow, including progress tracking and error handling.

What pre-execution checks are needed before running a spec-kit implementation plan?

Pre-execution checks for spec-kit implementation plans involve verifying extension hooks, prerequisites, and checklist status. The system also validates project setup, including ignore files and required configurations, before parsing and executing tasks.

Do I need a specific directory structure to execute implementation plans in spec-kit?

Executing implementation plans in spec-kit requires a specific project structure and a .specify/ directory. The system verifies this setup, including ignore files and required configurations, before loading implementation context and parsing tasks.

How are errors and progress tracked during spec-kit task execution?

Progress and error handling during spec-kit task execution are managed automatically by tracking each phase and dependency from tasks.md. The system captures errors during execution and validates that all required tasks are completed and match specifications.

Can I provide specific implementation guidance when automating spec-kit tasks?

You can provide optional implementation guidance or task filters when running the automation. This allows you to tailor the execution of tasks defined in tasks.md while still relying on the system for parsing, context loading, and completion validation.
