SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning feature specifications and design documents into an actionable, ordered implementation plan is time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill automates the creation of a structured tasks.md file so every user story becomes a set of concrete, independently testable tasks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Story-Organized Task Generation: Reads spec.md, plan.md, data-model.md, and contracts to produce one phase per user story in priority order. - Strict Checklist Format: Every task follows a validated format with checkbox, sequential task ID, parallelization marker, story label, and exact file path. - Dependency & Parallelism Analysis: Outputs a dependency graph of story completion order plus parallel execution examples and a suggested MVP scope. - Extension Hooks: Supports optional and mandatory pre/post hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After writing a feature spec and implementation plan with spec-kit, run this Skill to instantly produce a tasks.md that an LLM or developer can execute task-by-task without extra context. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate the tasks.md for the current feature based on the spec and plan in the .specify directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a tasks.md file from a feature specification?▼

Run this Skill inside a spec-kit project after creating spec.md and plan.md. It reads the design artifacts from the feature directory and writes a tasks.md organized by user story with sequential task IDs, file paths, and dependency ordering.

How are tasks organized in the generated tasks.md?▼

Tasks are grouped into phases: Setup, Foundational prerequisites, one phase per user story in priority order (P1, P2, P3), and a final Polish phase. Each user story phase is independently testable and includes models, services, and endpoints for that story.

What project structure does spec-kit task generation require?▼

It requires a spec-kit project with a .specify directory containing scripts like check-prerequisites.sh and templates like tasks-template.md. The feature directory must contain at least spec.md and plan.md; data-model.md, contracts, and research.md are optional.

Does the task generator create test tasks automatically?▼

No, test tasks are optional. They are only generated when explicitly requested in the feature specification or when the user asks for a TDD approach, in which case contract tests are placed before implementation tasks.

What is the task checklist format used in tasks.md?▼

Every task uses the format '- [ ] [TaskID] [P?] [Story?] Description with file path'. The [P] marker indicates parallelizable tasks, and story labels like [US1] are required only for user story phase tasks.
