speckit-tasks

You can automatically generate a tasks.md file by running a Python-based task generation workflow that parses design documents to produce setup, foundational, and user story-specific tasks. This requires a spec-kit project structure to function correctly.

A spec-kit project structure requires a `.specify/` directory to hold design artifacts. You absolutely need this directory established before generating a detailed task list, as the Python scripts parse these design documents to create the ordered tasks.

Project planning tasks are organized by executing a task generation workflow that reads design documents and categorizes items into setup, foundational tasks, and user story-specific tasks. This creates a detailed, task-ordered markdown file for development features.

Yes, Python scripts are required to execute the task generation workflow. They parse your design artifacts within the spec-kit structure to automatically output a comprehensive, task-ordered list for your software development features.

Spec-kit task generation is limited to environments with a `.specify/` directory and Python installed. It cannot generate tasks without proper design documents to parse, and it specifically targets software development feature planning rather than general project management.
