speckit-tasks

To generate a tasks.md from design artifacts, map your plan.md, spec.md, and optional artifacts to actionable user stories. This process automatically creates a dependency-ordered task outline and a ready-to-run tasks.md file for implementation.

A dependency-ordered task plan sequences actionable tasks based on their relationships, mapping user stories and priorities into phases. It guides implementation by providing a structured tasks.md file along with a visual dependency graph.

Yes, you can use plan.md and spec.md to create a phased task outline. The process validates formatting, maps artifacts to user stories, and outputs a summary report that includes specific MVP recommendations.

Generating a task plan from specifications requires no external dependencies or components. It directly analyzes your existing design artifacts to produce the dependency-ordered tasks.md and summary report.

The best way to automate task creation from a specification document is to run a process that maps plan.md and spec.md to actionable tasks. This reduces manual planning time and outputs a dependency graph aligned with priorities.

You should not use automated task generation from design artifacts if your project lacks a structured plan.md or spec.md. The process depends on existing design artifacts to accurately map dependencies and produce a viable tasks.md.
