speckit-tasks

To generate dependency-ordered tasks, provide a feature spec with plan.md and spec.md in the .specify directory. The generator reads these artifacts, maps user stories to tasks, and outputs a checklist-formatted tasks.md with validated dependency ordering.

Organizing feature development tasks by user stories is best handled by mapping user stories from spec.md into a checklist-formatted tasks.md. This process structures tasks with clear dependencies and provides parallelizable task options for efficient execution.

Yes, the task generator requires a spec-kit project structure. It specifically reads plan.md, spec.md, and related artifacts from the .specify directory, using .specify/Templates/tasks-template.md to produce an aligned tasks document.

Yes, you can get MVP scope suggestions when generating a task plan. The generator reports a summary with task counts and provides MVP suggestions alongside the dependency-aware tasks.md document.

Dependency validation works by analyzing the mapped user stories and their associated tasks to ensure correct execution order. It validates dependency ordering and produces parallelizable task options, allowing teams to identify which tasks can run concurrently.

Using a spec-kit structure for automated task generation eliminates manual planning errors by directly reading design artifacts. It ensures tasks are dependency-aware, parallelizable, and aligned with templates, providing a structured checklist for feature development.
