FAQPage Schema
How do I break down an implementation plan into actionable tasks?

You can break down an implementation plan into actionable tasks by generating a tasks.md from plan.md and spec.md within a spec-kit project. It maps user stories to concrete tasks with file paths and dependencies.

What is a dependency-aware task list for project management?

A dependency-aware task list maps actionable tasks to their prerequisite relationships. It builds a dependency graph to highlight parallelization opportunities, optimizing delivery order and team collaboration.

Does this task automation require a specific project directory structure?

Yes, this task automation requires a .specify/ directory within a spec-kit project. It reads your plan.md and spec.md files from this environment to generate the organized tasks.md output.

How do I generate a tasks.md file from a spec.md and plan.md?

You generate a tasks.md by parsing spec.md and plan.md to extract user stories. The output is a strict, checkbox-based checklist organized by phases and user stories, summarizing the MVP scope.

Can I parallelize task execution from a user story breakdown?

Yes, you can parallelize task execution because the breakdown builds a dependency graph and provides parallel execution examples. This highlights exactly which actionable tasks can run concurrently.
