SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating structured, dependency-ordered task lists for spec-kit features is time-consuming and prone to errors when mapping design artifacts to implementation steps. This skill automates that process to save development teams hours of manual work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Generation: Parses spec-kit design artifacts (plan.md, spec.md, data models, interface contracts) to extract requirements and map them to actionable tasks.
  • Structured Output: Generates a standardized, checklist-formatted tasks.md organized by user story priority, with dependency graphs and parallel execution opportunities.
  • Use Case: A software team using spec-kit to build a new feature can use this skill to instantly convert their existing design documents into a ready-to-execute task list without manual formatting or dependency mapping.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a complete, executable tasks.md for your active spec-kit feature from its available design artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a tasks.md file from spec-kit design artifacts?

Generate a tasks.md file by parsing spec-kit design artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to extract requirements, mapping them into a dependency-ordered, checklist-formatted task list organized by user story priority.

What is dependency mapping for user stories in feature planning?

Dependency mapping for user stories identifies execution order and parallel opportunities. This skill automates mapping spec-kit design artifacts to generate prioritized task breakdowns with dependency graphs for feature planning.

Do I need existing spec.md and plan.md files to generate a task list?

Yes, you need existing spec-kit design artifacts. The skill parses available documents including plan.md, spec.md, data models, and interface contracts to extract requirements and map them into actionable implementation tasks.

Can I automatically create parallel execution opportunities for software development tasks?

Yes, the skill analyzes spec-kit interface contracts and data models to generate dependency graphs that highlight which user stories can be executed concurrently, creating parallel execution opportunities for software development tasks.

What's the best way to convert interface contracts into independent test criteria?

The best way is using automated task generation. This skill parses spec-kit interface contracts to produce a standardized, checklist-formatted tasks.md file that includes independent test criteria for each user story.

Why does manual task generation from spec-kit features take so long?

Manual task generation from spec-kit features takes time because mapping design artifacts to implementation steps and structuring dependency orders is prone to errors. This skill automates that process to save development teams hours of manual work.
