SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically transforms feature plans and design artifacts into a concrete, dependency-ordered tasks.md to streamline planning and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a tasks.md broken into Setup, Foundational, and per-user-story phases based on plan.md, spec.md, and optional artifacts like data-model.md or contracts/.
  • Enforce a strict, checkable task format and include per-story dependencies, parallelization hints, and file paths.
  • Use across runtimes to drive Spec Kit workflows from high-level requirements down to actionable tasks for implementation and testing.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks generator to create specs/<feature>/tasks.md from the available plan.md and spec.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 tasks.md file from a feature plan?▼

Generate a tasks.md from a feature plan by running the spec-kit task generator against your plan.md and spec.md. It outputs a dependency-ordered, phase-based task structure with strict checklist formatting and explicit file-path mappings.

What is a dependency-ordered task roadmap in spec-kit workflows?▼

A dependency-ordered task roadmap in spec-kit workflows is a tasks.md file that breaks feature plans into Setup, Foundational, and per-user-story phases. It includes per-story dependencies, parallelization hints, and file paths for implementation and testing.

Can I use design artifacts like data-model.md to create a phase-based task structure?▼

Yes, you can use design artifacts like data-model.md or contracts/ to create a phase-based task structure. The generator reads these optional artifacts alongside plan.md and spec.md to produce foundational work and per-story execution tasks.

Does the generated tasks.md enforce per-story segmentation and checkable task formats?▼

Yes, the generated tasks.md enforces per-story segmentation and strict checkable task formats. It translates your plan and spec into segmented phases with explicit dependencies, parallelization hints, and file-path mappings.

What's the best way to turn high-level requirements into actionable tasks for project management?▼

The best way to turn high-level requirements into actionable tasks is to generate a tasks.md from your plan.md and spec.md. It creates a dependency-ordered, phase-based task structure suitable for setup, foundational work, and per-story execution.
