SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates an actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for a feature based on design artifacts and planning documents to accelerate planning and ensure traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a prioritized, dependency-resolved tasks list from plan.md and spec.md, with optional mappings from data-model.md and contracts/ to cover all relevant work.
  • Enforce a strict checklist format for every task and produce a complete execution plan including setup, foundational work, per-story tasks, and a polish phase.
  • Support extension hooks to customize pre- and post-generation behavior and integrate with repository workflows.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks skill against a repository containing plan.md and spec.md to generate tasks.md.

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 dependency-ordered tasks.md from plan.md and spec.md?▼

To generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md, run the speckit-tasks skill against a repository containing plan.md and spec.md. It automatically analyzes your design artifacts to produce a complete, testable execution plan.

What is the best way to structure a checklist for feature development phases?▼

The best way to structure a feature development checklist is by dividing it into setup, foundational, user-story, and polish phases. This ensures dependencies are resolved sequentially and all work is traceable to your spec.

Do I need data-model.md and contracts/ directories to generate a task plan?▼

You do not need data-model.md and contracts/ directories to generate a task plan. They are optional mappings; the core requirement is having plan.md and spec.md available in your spec-kit project repository.

Can I customize task generation behavior for my spec-kit repository workflow?▼

You can customize task generation behavior for your repository workflow using extension hooks. These hooks allow you to customize pre- and post-generation actions to integrate seamlessly with your existing processes.

Why are my generated development tasks missing foundational setup steps?▼

Development tasks miss foundational setup steps when not using a strict checklist format generator. Applying a dependency-ordered task planning skill ensures setup, foundational, per-story, and polish phases are all included.
