SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the ambiguity of project planning by automatically generating a structured, dependency-aware task list from your design artifacts and user stories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Generation: Parses project specifications and plans to create a logical, phase-based execution roadmap.
  • Dependency Mapping: Automatically identifies blocking prerequisites and organizes tasks by user story priority.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, provide your spec.md and plan.md to this skill to receive a ready-to-execute tasks.md file that ensures your development workflow is organized and testable from day one.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a tasks.md file based on the current project specifications and design documents.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from user stories and design artifacts?

To generate dependency-ordered tasks, you parse project specifications and plans to create a logical, phase-based execution roadmap. This process identifies blocking prerequisites and organizes tasks by user story priority to ensure structured implementation.

What is the best way to organize software development workflows for incremental delivery?

Organizing software development workflows for incremental delivery involves creating a ready-to-execute task list from design artifacts. This approach eliminates planning ambiguity by mapping dependencies and producing a structured, phase-based execution roadmap.

Do I need a .specify directory to generate a project task list?

Yes, you need a project structure containing .specify directories and associated specification documents. These inputs are required to parse your design artifacts and user stories to automatically generate the dependency-aware tasks.md file.

Can I use spec.md and plan.md files to create a testable implementation plan?

Yes, providing your spec.md and plan.md files allows the system to parse project specifications and create a ready-to-execute tasks.md file. This ensures your development workflow is organized and testable from day one.

How does dependency mapping work for software development task planning?

Dependency mapping for task planning works by automatically identifying blocking prerequisites within your project specifications. It then organizes the generated tasks by user story priority to create a logical, phase-based execution roadmap.

When should I not use automated task generation for project planning?

You should avoid automated task generation if your project lacks specification documents or a .specify directory structure. The system requires existing design artifacts and user stories to map dependencies and produce a structured execution roadmap.
