SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns existing design artifacts (plan and user stories) into an immediately actionable tasks.md with a clear dependency order, so teams can implement features without hunting for missing steps or context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-ordered task generation: Produces tasks grouped by user story and arranged in completion order, including a dependency graph.
  • Design-artifact driven coverage: Uses plan.md and spec.md as required inputs, and conditionally incorporates data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md when present to fill in missing implementation details.
  • Integration with extension hooks: Detects and incorporates optional/mandatory before_tasks and after_tasks hooks from .specify/extensions.yml to extend or automate portions of the workflow.
  • Task checklist validation: Ensures every task follows the required checklist format with sequential IDs, optional parallel markers, story labels, and explicit file paths.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks skill in a project that contains the speckit/spec-kit structure and supporting design documents (at minimum plan.md and spec.md) to generate tasks.md from the available artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an executable tasks.md from spec.md and plan.md?▼

To generate an executable tasks.md from design artifacts, run the speckit-tasks setup to translate spec.md and plan.md into a dependency-ordered implementation plan with sequential checklist formatting.

What is dependency-ordered task generation for feature development?▼

Dependency-ordered task generation produces actionable implementation steps grouped by user story phases and arranged in completion order, including a dependency graph to guide feature development workflows.

Do I need to run setup-tasks.sh before generating tasks.md?▼

Yes, running setup-tasks.sh is required for template discovery before generating tasks.md, ensuring the output follows strict checklist formatting with sequential IDs and explicit file paths.

Can I use extension hooks to automate portions of the task generation workflow?▼

Yes, you can invoke optional or mandatory before_tasks and after_tasks extension hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml to extend and automate portions of the task generation workflow.

What format does the generated tasks.md follow for implementation steps?▼

The generated tasks.md follows a strict checklist format featuring sequential IDs, optional parallel markers, story labels, and explicit file paths to ensure executable implementation steps.
