SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a feature specification and implementation plan into an actionable, ordered task list is manual and error-prone. This Skill automates the creation of a tasks.md file that organizes work by user story with clear dependencies and parallelization opportunities. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Task Generation: Reads plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, contracts, and research.md from a spec-kit project to produce a structured tasks.md. - User Story Organization: Groups tasks by prioritized user stories (P1, P2, P3) so each story is independently implementable and testable. - Strict Checklist Format: Enforces a consistent task format with IDs, parallel markers, story labels, and exact file paths. - Use Case: After writing a spec and plan for a new feature, run this Skill to instantly get a complete tasks.md with setup, foundational, per-story, and polish phases ready for execution. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate the tasks.md for the current feature based on the spec and plan in the .specify directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a tasks.md from a feature specification?▼

Run the speckit-tasks skill in a spec-kit project. It reads spec.md and plan.md from the feature directory, extracts user stories and tech stack, and writes a tasks.md organized by story with dependencies and parallel execution examples.

What files does spec-kit task generation require?▼

It requires plan.md and spec.md in the feature directory. Optional inputs include data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md, which enrich the generated tasks when present.

Does the tasks generator work without a .specify directory?▼

No. The skill requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory containing scripts and templates. It runs setup-tasks.ps1 from .specify/scripts to locate the feature directory and tasks template.

How are tasks organized in the generated tasks.md?▼

Tasks are grouped into phases: Setup, Foundational, one phase per user story in priority order, and a final Polish phase. Each task follows a strict checklist format with an ID, optional parallel marker, story label, and file path.

Are test tasks always included in the generated task list?▼

No. Test tasks are optional and only generated when explicitly requested in the feature specification or when the user asks for a TDD approach.
