SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate an actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for a feature based on available design artifacts. This skill helps teams translate complex design specs into concrete, trackable work items that can be assigned, scheduled, and validated.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts design plans, spec documents, and templates into a phased task list aligned to user stories.
  • Creates a complete, independently testable task plan with clear file paths, dependencies, and parallelization hints.
  • Supports MVP-first delivery by focusing on the earliest user story and enabling gradual expansion as more artifacts are clarified.

Quick Start

Generate tasks.md for the feature using the provided design artifacts.

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

To generate a dependency-ordered task list from design specs, you can use this skill to map data from plan.md and spec.md into a phased tasks.md file. It organizes trackable work items by user stories in priority order.

Can I create a phased task plan aligned to user stories from a spec document?

Yes, you can create a phased task plan aligned to user stories from a spec document. The skill converts spec.md and plan.md artifacts into an actionable checklist with clear file paths, dependencies, and parallelization hints.

How do I map design artifacts into an MVP-first delivery plan?

You map design artifacts into an MVP-first delivery plan by focusing on the earliest user story in priority order. The skill produces a complete, independently testable plan and surfaces a summary with the total task count and MVP scope.

What is the best way to structure tasks.md for parallel development?

The best way to structure tasks.md for parallel development is to enforce a strict checklist format with explicit dependency mapping. This skill generates independently testable tasks with parallelization hints based on story relationships.

Do I need plan.md and spec.md to generate trackable work items?

Yes, you need plan.md and spec.md to generate trackable work items. The skill maps data from these available design artifacts to produce a comprehensive task plan, while supporting gradual expansion as more optional documents are clarified.

How does mapping story relationships help with task generation?

Mapping story relationships helps with task generation by organizing tasks in priority order and enforcing a strict checklist format. This ensures the resulting tasks.md file contains complete, independently testable work items with accurate dependencies.
