SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the ambiguity of project planning by automatically generating a granular, dependency-ordered task list from your design artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Generation: Parses design documents like specs and plans to create a structured tasks.md file.
  • Dependency Mapping: Automatically identifies task order and parallel execution opportunities based on user stories.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this Skill to convert your high-level design documents into a concrete, step-by-step implementation checklist that is ready for immediate execution.

Quick Start

Invoke the speckit-tasks skill to generate a tasks.md file for the current feature directory based on the available design artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-aware task list from software design artifacts?

To generate a dependency-aware task list, you need a valid .specify/ directory with associated design documentation so the system can map user stories, data models, and interface contracts into a prioritized tasks.md implementation plan.

What is the best way to convert high-level design documents into an actionable development checklist?

Converting design documents into an actionable checklist requires parsing your specs and plans to automatically identify task order and parallel execution opportunities based on user stories within the GitHub Spec-Kit project structure.

Do I need a specific project structure to automate project planning and task decomposition?

Yes, automating project planning requires a valid GitHub Spec-Kit project structure containing a .specify/ directory and associated design documentation to perform accurate task decomposition and dependency analysis.

Can I map data models and interface contracts into a step-by-step implementation plan automatically?

Yes, you can map data models and interface contracts into a step-by-step implementation plan by parsing the design artifacts within your .specify/ directory to create a granular, dependency-ordered tasks.md file.

Why does automated task generation require user stories to determine parallel execution opportunities?

Automated task generation requires user stories because they define the functional requirements and relationships needed to accurately identify task order dependencies and parallel execution opportunities during project planning.

What limitations exist when generating a tasks.md file from interface contracts and data models?

The primary limitation is that task generation operates strictly within the GitHub Spec-Kit project structure and cannot perform dependency analysis without a valid .specify/ directory containing the required design documentation.
