SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a feature specification and implementation plan into an actionable, ordered task list is manual and error-prone. This Skill automates that step by reading your spec-kit project context and producing a structured tasks.md file ready for implementation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context-Aware Task Generation: Reads the feature directory from .specify/feature.json and loads constitution.md, spec.md, and plan.md to ground tasks in your project rules. - Dependency-Ordered Output: Organizes tasks by phase (setup, foundational, user stories in priority order, polish) so implementation follows a logical sequence. - Checklist Format: Every task uses a consistent checklist format with task IDs and file paths for easy tracking. - Use Case: After writing a spec and plan for a new feature, run this Skill to instantly produce a tasks.md that your team or AI agent can execute step by step. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate the implementation tasks for the current spec-kit feature and save them to tasks.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate implementation tasks from a feature specification?▼

Run this Skill inside a spec-kit project. It reads the feature directory from .specify/feature.json, loads spec.md and plan.md, and writes dependency-ordered checklist tasks to tasks.md in the feature directory.

What is the task format used in spec-kit tasks.md?▼

Each task uses a checklist format: '- [ ] [TaskID] Description with file path'. Tasks are grouped into phases: setup, foundational, user stories in priority order, and polish.

Does this Skill work without a spec-kit project structure?▼

No. It requires a spec-kit project with a .specify directory containing feature.json, memory/constitution.md, and a feature directory with spec.md and plan.md. Without these files, task generation cannot proceed.

Can I add constraints when generating tasks?▼

Yes. The Skill accepts optional task generation constraints as arguments, which are passed through as user input to influence how the tasks are created.

What are the limitations of automated task generation from specs?▼

Generated tasks depend entirely on the quality and completeness of spec.md and plan.md. Vague or missing plans produce generic tasks, so review and refine tasks.md before starting implementation.
