SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the execution of a predefined task plan described in tasks.md within a spec-kit project, eliminating manual coordination and improving reproducibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the full lifecycle: Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, and Polish phases.
  • Parses tasks.md to extract IDs, descriptions, dependencies, and parallel execution markers, and executes tasks respecting dependencies.
  • Enforces a test-first workflow by running tests before corresponding implementation tasks and validating checkpoints before progressing.
  • Provides progress updates, execution flow visualization, and extension hook handling before and after implement steps.

Quick Start

Run speckit-implement to execute the full tasks.md plan from the repository root, following dependencies and test-first workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task plan execution from a tasks.md file?

Automate task plan execution by running a specialized orchestrator that parses tasks.md to extract IDs, dependencies, and parallel markers, then sequentially executes setup, testing, core development, integration, and polishing phases automatically.

How does test-first workflow enforcement work during task orchestration?

Test-first workflow enforcement runs validation tests before corresponding implementation tasks and checks checkpoints before progressing, ensuring code meets defined specifications before moving to subsequent dependent tasks in the plan.

Can I execute parallel tasks and manage dependencies in a spec-kit project?

Yes, the orchestrator parses parallel execution markers from tasks.md and executes independent tasks concurrently while strictly enforcing sequential execution for tasks with defined dependencies to maintain correct build order.

What is the best way to visualize execution flow and track task progress?

Track task progress and visualize execution flow by running the orchestrator, which provides continuous progress updates, manages extension hooks before and after implementation steps, and reports checkpoint validations during the lifecycle.

Do I need a predefined task plan before running speckit-implement?

Yes, you need a predefined task plan described in a tasks.md file within a spec-kit project at the repository root, as the tool parses and validates this metadata to orchestrate the end-to-end execution lifecycle.

Why does task execution halt before moving to the integration phase?

Task execution halts because the orchestrator enforces a test-first workflow and validates checkpoints before progressing, stopping the plan if preceding core development tasks fail their associated dependency or test validations.
