FAQPage Schema

How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from project specifications?▼

To generate actionable task lists from design artifacts, this skill parses your plan.md and spec.md files to map user stories and data models into a structured tasks.md file with dependency-ordered implementation steps.

How do I map user stories to implementation phases automatically?▼

Mapping user stories to implementation phases is done by analyzing interface contracts and priority within your spec.md, organizing the generated tasks to identify parallel execution opportunities across your project structure.

Do I need PowerShell to generate project task checklists from spec-kit files?▼

Yes, you need PowerShell execution for setup to generate project task checklists from spec-kit files. You must also adhere to strict checklist formatting when tracking the generated implementation tasks.

What is the best way to translate high-level feature specifications into granular development tasks?▼

The best way to translate feature specifications into granular development tasks is using automated dependency mapping, which reads project design artifacts and outputs a checklist of setup requirements, test criteria, and implementation steps.

Can I identify parallel execution opportunities when generating a task list from project documentation?▼

Yes, you can identify parallel execution opportunities when generating a task list from project documentation. The skill organizes tasks by user story and priority to highlight where concurrent development workflows are possible.
