SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically orchestrate and execute a comprehensive implementation plan by reading tasks.md and coordinating setup, tests, core development, integration, and polishing steps, ensuring dependencies and guardrails are respected.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates phased execution: Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, Polish.
  • Respects task dependencies and parallelizable tasks, with TDD guidance and progress updates.
  • Provides post-implementation hooks and robust error handling to ensure traceability.

Quick Start

Provide the initial user request to trigger speckit-implement and start processing tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate end-to-end implementation plan execution from a tasks.md file?

You can automate end-to-end implementation plan execution by reading tasks.md and orchestrating all defined tasks. This process coordinates setup, tests, core development, integration, and polishing steps while respecting dependencies and guardrails.

What is phased task orchestration for spec-kit style projects?

Phased task orchestration is a structured execution method that processes tasks across Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish phases. It enforces phase gating, handles task dependencies, and supports parallelizable tasks to ensure complete implementation.

How do I set up task dependencies and parallel execution rules in project automation?

Task dependencies and parallel execution rules are configured within tasks.md. The automation engine reads these definitions to apply phase gating, execute parallelizable tasks simultaneously, and ensure sequential tasks respect dependency chains.

Can I use test-driven development guidance with automated task execution workflows?

Yes, automated task execution workflows support test-driven development guidance. The orchestration engine processes the Tests phase and provides TDD guidance while executing tasks, ensuring tests are integrated into the core development flow.

Does automated workflow orchestration handle error reporting and post-implementation hooks?

Automated workflow orchestration provides robust error handling and post-implementation extension hooks. It generates progress reports and ensures traceability throughout the Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish execution phases.

What are the limitations of using tasks.md for project automation and task execution?

Project automation using tasks.md requires projects to be organized in a spec-kit style with tasks explicitly split into Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish phases. Execution relies on proper dependency definitions and ignore-file checks to function correctly.
