FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task generation from design documents?

Task generation from design documents is automated by parsing plan.md, spec.md, and data-model.md files to produce a dependency-ordered task list. This requires a spec-kit project structure to function correctly.

Do I need a spec-kit environment to generate dependency-ordered tasks?

Yes, a spec-kit environment with the .specify/ directory is required to generate dependency-ordered tasks. The tool specifically relies on the spec-kit project structure to parse design artifacts correctly.

What design artifacts are used for AI-assisted task generation?

AI-assisted task generation uses design artifacts like plan.md, spec.md, and data-model.md. These files are processed to map out feature dependencies and automatically create an organized tasks.md list.

Can I use this for project management in AI-driven development workflows?

Yes, this is ideal for AI-driven project planning where mapping task dependencies is critical. It speeds up development workflows by automatically setting up an organized, dependency-ordered task list from design artifacts.

What is the best way to map task dependencies from a spec.md file?

The best way to map task dependencies from a spec.md file is using automated task generation within a spec-kit environment. It analyzes the design documents to output a structured tasks.md with features ordered by their dependencies.
