SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speckit-tasks automates the generation of an actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for a feature by analyzing design artifacts and project structure, reducing manual planning overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a complete tasks.md from plan.md, spec.md and optional artifacts (data-model.md, contracts/, research.md).
  • Map tasks to user stories with priorities and provide a dependency graph and parallelization guidance.
  • Honor multi-repo branching and setup steps when plan.md indicates affected repositories.
  • Validate and present a ready-to-run checklist with precise file paths and execution order.

Quick Start

Run speckit-tasks from the project root to produce a tasks.md for the current feature based on the available design artifacts.

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 speckit-tasks from your project root. It parses plan.md and spec.md to produce an actionable checklist with phase structure, file paths, and parallel execution details.

Can I use design artifacts like data-model.md and contracts to augment task generation?▼

Yes, task generation leverages optional artifacts like data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md. Including these files augments the resulting tasks.md with deeper dependency graph mapping and user story priorities.

Does task planning support multi-repo branching and setup steps?▼

Multi-repo branching is supported when your plan.md indicates affected repositories. The generated tasks.md will honor the necessary multi-repo branching setup steps and integrate them into the execution order.

What is the best way to automate Speckit task planning for parallel execution?▼

Automating Speckit task planning is best handled by parsing design artifacts to output a ready-to-run checklist. This checklist provides parallelization guidance and precise dependencies suitable for automated execution.

Do I need optional artifacts like research.md to produce a valid task checklist?▼

Optional artifacts like research.md are not required. Speckit-tasks produces a valid tasks.md by parsing the essential plan.md and spec.md, while only using optional files to further augment tasks.
