High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task generation for spec-kit feature development?▼

Automating task generation for spec-kit feature development involves parsing design artifacts to produce a dependency-ordered tasks.md file. This process requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory to map out development phases automatically.

What design artifacts are needed to generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md file?▼

Generating a dependency-ordered tasks.md file requires plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts/ design artifacts. The Skill analyzes these inputs from your .specify/ directory to outline the development process including foundational tasks and user story phases.

Can I use this task generation Skill without a .specify/ directory?▼

No, you cannot use this task generation Skill without a .specify/ directory. The automation explicitly requires an existing spec-kit project structure containing this directory to parse the necessary design artifacts and generate the tasks.md file.

How does automated task generation handle development phase ordering?▼

Automated task generation handles development phase ordering by analyzing dependencies within your design artifacts. It creates a structured tasks.md file that sequences setup, foundational tasks, and user story-specific phases based on the parsed relationships.

What's the best way to structure spec-kit projects for automated task generation?▼

The best way to structure spec-kit projects for automated task generation is to maintain standard design artifacts like plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts/ within the .specify/ directory to ensure accurate dependency-ordered task output.
