SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual effort of translating high-level implementation plans into structured, executable task lists, reducing planning overhead and ensuring alignment with user story priorities for development teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spec-kit Integration: Parses standard spec-kit project documents (plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, contracts/) to extract requirements and constraints.
  • Dependency-Aware Task Generation: Creates ordered, checklist-formatted tasks with clear dependencies, parallel execution opportunities, and independent test criteria per user story.
  • Use Case: A software team with an approved feature plan can use this Skill to instantly generate a ready-to-execute tasks.md file, eliminating hours of manual task breakdown and prioritization.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a structured task list for your current feature implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down an implementation plan into actionable tasks?

To break down an implementation plan into actionable tasks, parse standard spec-kit project documents like plan.md and spec.md to generate a dependency-mapped, checklist-formatted tasks.md file. This aligns ordered tasks with user story priorities and identifies parallel execution opportunities.

How do I generate a tasks.md file from user stories for agile development?

Generate a tasks.md file from user stories by applying dependency mapping to spec-kit structured projects. The process extracts requirements from plan.md and spec.md, outputting checklist-formatted tasks with independent test criteria for each user story.

What is dependency mapping in task generation for software implementation plans?

Dependency mapping in task generation identifies relationships between implementation steps, creating ordered task lists that highlight parallel execution opportunities. It ensures tasks within a tasks.md file align with user story priorities and constraints extracted from spec-kit documents.

Do I need a data-model.md file to generate dependency-mapped task lists?

A data-model.md file is not required to generate dependency-mapped task lists. The skill parses standard spec-kit documents including plan.md and spec.md, while treating supporting design documents like data-model.md and interface contracts as optional inputs.

Can I use spec-kit task generation for projects without interface contracts?

Yes, you can use spec-kit task generation for projects without interface contracts. The skill parses plan.md and spec.md as required inputs, while interface contracts in the contracts directory are optional supporting documents for generating the tasks.md file.

Why does my generated task list not align with user story priorities?

Generated task lists align with user story priorities by extracting requirements directly from spec-kit structured plan.md and spec.md files. If alignment fails, verify that your implementation plan explicitly defines user stories and that the supporting spec-kit documents contain clear constraints.
