speckit-tasks

To generate a dependency-ordered task list, aggregate project design artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to produce a structured tasks.md file. This file outlines an actionable, phase-based task breakdown ready for execution.

The best way to structure feature tasks into execution phases is to organize work into Setup, Foundational, User Story, and Polish phases. This enforces a phase-based workflow and ensures checklist-ready output.

You do not strictly need a data-model.md file to auto-generate a tasks.md, but applying available design artifacts like plan.md, spec.md, and templates provides a more structured and comprehensive task breakdown.

Yes, you can use spec.md and templates to build a dependency graph for feature implementation. The tool aggregates these design artifacts to map task dependencies and organize work into sequential phases.

To create an executable checklist from a plan.md, run the tool from the project root to process the design artifacts. It produces a checklist-formatted task list that can be implemented and reviewed independently.
