SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automatically generate a complete, dependency-ordered tasks.md for a feature by analyzing design artifacts and using a standard speckit template.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads plan.md, spec.md, and optional documents (data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, quickstart.md) to derive scope and priorities.
  • Produces tasks.md organized by phases: Setup, Foundational, one or more User Story phases, and Polish, including a dependency graph.
  • Validates task coverage and outputs ready-to-run tasks that follow the speckit template.

Quick Start

Provide design artifacts plan.md and spec.md, then run the speckit.tasks workflow to generate the tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from design artifacts?▼

To generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from design artifacts, provide a plan.md and spec.md, then run the workflow to analyze scope and output phase-based tasks with a dependency graph.

What design artifacts do I need to generate phase-based tasks?▼

Generating phase-based tasks requires plan.md and spec.md at minimum. Optional artifacts like data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md enhance scope derivation and task coverage validation.

How does task generation handle dependencies in a project plan?▼

Task generation handles dependencies by analyzing available design artifacts to produce a dependency graph, organizing tasks into Setup, Foundational, User Story, and Polish phases for ordered execution.

Can I use optional documents like data-model.md and contracts to improve task coverage?▼

Yes, you can use optional documents like data-model.md and contracts/ to improve task coverage. The workflow reads these alongside spec.md to derive priorities and validate task completeness.

What is the best way to structure a tasks.md file for a new feature?▼

The best way to structure a tasks.md file for a new feature is using a speckit template that organizes tasks into Setup, Foundational, User Story, and Polish phases with a validated dependency graph.

Does generated task coverage require integration with extension hooks?▼

Generated task coverage does not strictly require extension hooks, but the produced tasks.md integrates optional extension hooks to connect with broader project execution workflows.
