speckit.tasks

To generate a structured task list for feature development, this Skill parses design artifacts like spec.md and data-model.md, then outputs a dependency-ordered tasks.md file organizing actionable tasks by user story.

Organizing software development tasks by user story is achieved by processing your design documents to create a dependency-ordered list, ensuring independent implementation and testing for each feature increment.

Automated task generation works directly with existing design documents like plan.md, spec.md, and data-model.md, parsing them to produce a comprehensive and actionable feature development workflow.

You can automate creating a tasks.md file by running the task generation command with your feature name, which processes available design artifacts and outputs a dependency-ordered task list.

Task generation supports managing dependencies by structuring the generated tasks.md file specifically around user stories, ensuring each task is mapped for independent implementation and logical execution order.

The primary limitation of generating a task list from design documents is the strict requirement for available design artifacts; without sufficient inputs like spec.md or data-model.md, the generated task organization will lack necessary context.
