speckit-tasks

To generate a dependency-ordered task plan, provide your plan.md and spec.md files so the system can analyze them and output a tasks.md file organized by user story, execution phases, and dependency graphs.

You need plan.md and spec.md files to create a tasks.md file. You can also include optional documents like data-model.md, contracts, research, and quickstart guides to derive a more complete task set.

Yes, you can organize generated tasks into sequential phases. The output structures tasks into Setup, Foundational, one phase per user story in priority order, and a Final Polish phase for comprehensive project planning.

Yes, the generated task plan includes parallel execution examples. It produces a dependency graph and validates that all tasks follow a strict checklist format to ensure they are independently testable.

Generated tasks are mapped to specific user stories by analyzing the provided spec.md and plan.md documents. The system organizes the output into dedicated phases for each user story in priority order.

The best way to automate project setup from a spec file is to use a task generator that parses your design artifacts and outputs a checklist-formatted tasks.md with a dependency graph for structured execution.
