SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of project planning by automatically generating a structured, dependency-aware task list from high-level design documents, ensuring that development follows a logical and testable sequence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Mapping: Automatically parses project specifications and plans to identify the correct order of implementation.
  • Standardized Task Format: Enforces a strict checklist format with IDs, story labels, and file paths for immediate execution.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this skill to transform your spec.md and plan.md into a ready-to-use tasks.md file that guides the development process phase by phase.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a tasks.md file based on the current project documentation in the root directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task list from project design documents?

Use the skill to parse spec.md and plan.md files, map user stories to specific implementation tasks, and output a ready-to-use tasks.md file with dependency-aware ordering.

What is the best way to map user stories to specific implementation tasks and test criteria?

Parse spec-kit compliant feature directories to map user stories into a standardized checklist format with IDs, story labels, and file paths for immediate execution and test criteria.

Do I need a spec-kit compliant project structure to generate a tasks.md file?

Yes, a project structure compliant with the spec-kit standard is required to parse feature directories and templates and map dependencies into a structured tasks.md file.

Can I automate project planning by converting spec.md and plan.md files into development phases?

Yes, by parsing spec.md and plan.md files you can automate project planning to output a tasks.md file that guides software development phase by phase with dependency-aware ordering.

Why does automated task generation require standardized templates for software development workflows?

Standardized templates are required because automated task generation parses project specifications and plans to identify implementation order, mapping dependencies and file paths accurately into a strict checklist format.
