SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speckit.tasks automates the creation of an executable, dependency-ordered tasks.md from design artifacts, reducing manual planning effort and ensuring consistency across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated task generation: transforms plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts into structured tasks.
  • Dependency graph and parallelization: produces a clear execution order with opportunities for parallel work.
  • Phase-based task structure: organizes work into setup, foundational, per-story phases, and polish.

Quick Start

Run speckit.tasks to generate a tasks.md from your project design artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-generate a task plan from design artifacts?

To generate a tasks.md from design artifacts, you run the tool to transform plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts. It maps user stories to executable tasks and produces dependency graphs with parallelization guidance.

What design artifacts do I need to generate a dependency graph for tasks?

You need plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts to generate a dependency graph. These design artifacts provide the context required to map user stories into a structured, phased execution order.

Can I map user stories to tasks using a spec.md and data-model.md?

Yes, you can map user stories to tasks using spec.md and data-model.md. The tool transforms these artifacts into an executable tasks document featuring unique task IDs, per-story grouping, and strict checklist formatting.

Does generating tasks from design artifacts support parallelization guidance?

Generating tasks from design artifacts supports parallelization guidance. It produces a clear execution order with opportunities for parallel work by organizing dependencies across setup, foundational, per-story, and polish phases.

What is the best way to structure tasks from a plan.md and contracts?

The best way to structure tasks from plan.md and contracts is a multi-phase structure. This approach organizes work into setup, foundational, per-story, and polish phases, ensuring dependency-ordered execution and consistency across teams.
