What problem does it solve?
This Skill converts scattered design artifacts and user stories into a single, actionable tasks.md that is dependency-ordered and immediately executable, removing ambiguity and manual planning work when implementing a feature.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Task Synthesis: Parses plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, contracts, and other design docs to generate phased tasks organized by user story.
- Dependency and Parallelization Guidance: Produces a story dependency graph, marks parallelizable work, and validates checklist format and testability for each phase.
- Extension Hook Awareness: Detects and surfaces pre- and post-generation extension hooks from .specify/extensions.yml so external automation can run before or after task generation.
Quick Start
Invoke the speckit-tasks skill with an optional constraint string and the feature directory path to produce a validated tasks.md ready for execution.
