SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? The speckit-task-grounding skill provides a standardized framework to verify that every task described in tasks.md is grounded to planning artifacts such as spec.md, plan.md, data-model.md, api-contracts.md, research.md, and quickstart.md, reducing misalignment and rework.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Grounding validation across multiple artifacts to ensure traceability for each task.
  • Parallel validation support to speed readiness assessments.
  • Gap analysis, risk assessment, and a formal decision gate using a TASK_GROUNDING_ANALYSIS.md output.

### Quick Start Follow the 5-step grounding workflow to validate tasks in specs/007-*/TASK_GROUNDING_ANALYSIS.md, producing a formal grounding report and decision gate that guides implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-task-grounding

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate that tasks in tasks.md are grounded to planning artifacts?▼

Task grounding validation checks every entry in tasks.md against planning artifacts like spec.md, plan.md, and api-contracts.md to ensure traceability. It outputs a TASK_GROUNDING_ANALYSIS.md report and a formal decision gate to guide implementation.

What is task grounding and why is it needed for feature readiness?▼

Task grounding is the process of verifying that implementation tasks are traceable to planning artifacts such as data-models, specs, and research. It is needed to reduce misalignment and rework before starting development.

How do I run parallel validation for task grounding across multiple artifacts?▼

Parallel validation for task grounding is supported to speed up readiness assessments across specs, plans, data-models, api-contracts, research, and quickstart artifacts. It follows a 5-step workflow to produce a formal decision gate.

Can I generate a gap analysis and risk assessment for tasks.md entries?▼

Yes, validating tasks.md against planning artifacts produces a gap analysis and risk assessment. The results are compiled into a TASK_GROUNDING_ANALYSIS.md report to formalize the implementation decision gate.

What planning artifacts are required to verify task traceability?▼

Task traceability verification requires planning artifacts such as spec.md, plan.md, data-model.md, api-contracts.md, research.md, and quickstart.md. These artifacts ensure every task is properly grounded before implementation begins.
