SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates end-to-end implementation planning by executing all tasks defined in tasks.md against the current project, eliminating manual coordination and ensuring consistent progress tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates phase-driven execution from a complete tasks.md and plan.md, including Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish.
  • Enforces a test-first approach by running tests before corresponding implementation tasks and reporting progress.
  • Validates prerequisites and extension hook configurations, and transparently surfaces execution status and failures.
  • Supports extension hooks before and after implementation to extend behavior without modifying core workflow.

Quick Start

Run speckit-implement to execute all tasks defined in tasks.md according to plan.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate end-to-end implementation execution from a project plan?

You can automate end-to-end implementation execution by running this tool against your project's tasks.md and plan.md files to orchestrate setup, testing, core development, integration, and polish phases automatically.

What is phase-driven execution in software project orchestration?

Phase-driven execution organizes implementation into ordered stages: setup, test-first development, core development, integration, and polish. This approach enforces dependency handling and validation checkpoints between phases to ensure consistent progress reporting and structural integrity.

How do I enforce test-first development when executing implementation tasks?

Enforce test-first development by configuring the execution to run tests before corresponding implementation tasks. The workflow validates prerequisites, applies TDD-first testing, and reports progress transparently, ensuring tests fail or pass before core logic is written.

Does spec-kit style project execution work without a data-models file?

Spec-kit style project execution works without a data-models file because data models are optional. The required inputs are tasks.md and plan.md, while the workflow automatically validates prerequisites and extension hook configurations during the setup phase.

Can I extend task execution behavior without modifying the core workflow?

You can extend task execution behavior using extension hooks before and after implementation. This allows you to inject custom logic and extend functionality without modifying the core phase-driven workflow or altering the defined tasks.md structure.

What are the limitations of automating implementation with a tasks.md file?

Automating implementation with a tasks.md file requires strict adherence to the spec-kit project structure and limits execution to the defined phases. If tasks lack proper dependency definitions or prerequisite validation fails, the execution halts at validation checkpoints until resolved.
