SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speckit-tasks automates the creation of detailed, dependency-ordered task plans for implementing a feature, transforming design artifacts into executable work items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a dependency-ordered tasks document (tasks.md) from design artifacts under .specify/ (plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, contracts/, research/).
  • Organizes tasks by user stories (US1, US2, etc.) into phases: Setup, Foundational, User Story, and Polish.
  • Builds a dependency graph, provides parallel execution examples, and suggests an MVP scope.
  • Supports extension hooks before and after task generation with optional/mandatory hooks.
  • Outputs a summary including total task count and per-story breakdown.

Quick Start

Run speckit-tasks in your project to generate tasks.md from design artifacts under the .specify/ hierarchy.

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

Generate a dependency-ordered task list by running the tool in your project to parse design artifacts under the .specify/ directory, which outputs an actionable tasks.md file. This organizes work into setup, foundational, and user-story phases.

What design artifacts do I need to create a tasks.md plan?▼

Creating a tasks.md plan requires a .specify/ structure containing plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and any contracts or research files. These artifacts provide the context for mapping tasks to user stories.

Can I automate task generation for user stories without manual dependency mapping?▼

Automating task generation for user stories works by building a dependency graph from your design artifacts. The tool creates a strict checklist format, maps tasks to US stories, and provides parallel execution examples without manual mapping.

Does the generated task plan include an MVP scope suggestion?▼

The generated task plan includes an MVP scope suggestion. After generating tasks.md, the tool outputs a summary featuring the total task count, a per-story breakdown, and a suggested minimum viable product scope.

Can I run custom hooks during the task generation process?▼

Running custom extension hooks before and after task generation is supported. The process accommodates optional and mandatory hooks, allowing you to execute custom logic automatically after the tasks.md file is generated.
