SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates a dependency-ordered tasks.md that translates design artifacts into executable work items for feature development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a tasks workbook by aggregating plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md (if present), contracts, and research documents into a structured, phase-based task list.
  • Builds a dependency graph and parallel execution hints so teams can implement user stories in priority order with clear milestones.
  • Produces a checklist-formatted tasks.md that teams can immediately execute and track progress against.

Quick Start

Generate tasks.md by running the speckit-tasks skill against a project that follows the .specify structure.

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

You can generate dependency-ordered tasks by aggregating plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts into a structured tasks.md file. This organizes feature implementation into setup, foundational, and story phases mapped to user stories.

What is a dependency graph in feature development task planning?

A dependency graph maps task relationships to establish execution priority. It identifies foundational phases and creates parallel execution hints, ensuring teams implement user stories in correct sequential order with clear milestones.

How do I create a checklist-formatted tasks.md for a spec-kit project?

Creating a checklist-formatted tasks.md involves consuming available design artifacts within a spec-kit layout. It enforces a checklist format for each task, maps them to user stories, and reports an MVP scope summary for immediate progress tracking.

Can I use plan.md and data-model.md to organize user stories into phases?

Yes, you can use plan.md and data-model.md to organize user stories into phases. The process aggregates these design artifacts to structure tasks into setup, foundational, and story phases based on their specific dependencies.

Does generating a tasks workbook require research documents?

Generating a tasks workbook does not strictly require research documents but consumes them when present. It primarily relies on plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts to build the dependency-ordered task list.
