SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate an actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for the feature based on available design artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Transforms design artifacts (plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, contracts) into a structured tasks.md organized by user stories.
  • Ensures tasks follow a strict checklist format and include per-story dependencies and parallelization hints.
  • Produces a summary report with total task count, MVP scope, and parallel opportunities.

Quick Start

Generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from your feature's design artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from design artifacts?

To generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from design artifacts, the Skill maps your plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts into a strict checklist organized by user stories. It outputs a structured file with parallelization hints and an MVP scope summary.

What is the best way to map user stories to concrete software engineering tasks?

Mapping user stories to concrete software engineering tasks is done by parsing your spec-kit structure and extracting actionable checklist items. The generated tasks.md organizes these tasks by user story and includes per-story dependencies to guide feature implementation.

How do I create a structured checklist for feature implementation from a spec?

Creating a structured checklist for feature implementation from a spec involves analyzing your design artifacts to produce a tasks.md file. This file follows a strict checklist format, maps dependencies, and highlights parallel opportunities to streamline the development workflow.

Do I need a spec-kit structure to generate a tasks.md file?

Yes, you need a spec-kit structure to generate a tasks.md file. This Skill specifically applies to projects organized around plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts, using these design artifacts to map user stories to concrete implementation tasks.

How does planning parallelization work in generated software engineering tasks?

Planning parallelization in generated software engineering tasks works by analyzing dependencies across your design artifacts. The Skill produces a summary report highlighting parallel opportunities and includes per-story dependency hints within the strict tasks.md checklist format.

Can I identify MVP scope from data-model and contracts?

Yes, you can identify MVP scope from data-model and contracts. The Skill analyzes these available design artifacts alongside your plan and spec to produce a summary report that explicitly defines the MVP scope and total task count for feature implementation.
