SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts scattered design artifacts into a single, actionable tasks.md so teams and LLMs can execute feature work without ambiguous or missing steps. It removes manual translation from specifications, data models, and contracts into developer-ready tasks and dependency orders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parse spec-kit style project artifacts (plan.md, spec.md, optional data-model.md, contracts, research) and extract user stories with priorities.
  • Generate a phased tasks.md with Setup, Foundational, per-user-story phases, polish phase, and a dependency graph that preserves execution order and parallel opportunities.
  • Surface extension hooks (before_tasks and after_tasks), validate checklist format, and produce an execution report summarizing task counts, per-story tests, and suggested MVP scope.
  • Use Case: A product manager or engineering lead wants an immediately runnable, checklist-style task plan for a new feature so engineers or an LLM can implement and test each story independently.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks workflow on the repository root to generate an executable tasks.md for the target feature.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

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

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

To generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md, apply this workflow to a spec-kit style project containing a .specify directory. It parses plan.md, spec.md, and contracts to produce a phased, checklist-style task plan with parallel execution examples.

What is the best way to convert spec-kit style specifications into actionable user story tasks?▼

Converting spec-kit specifications into actionable user story tasks requires parsing design artifacts like spec.md and data-model.md. This process extracts user stories with priorities and outputs an executable checklist format organized by implementation phases.

Can I use this task generation process if my project lacks a data-model.md file?▼

You can use this task generation process without a data-model.md file because it is an optional input artifact. The workflow primarily requires a .specify directory containing plan.md and spec.md to successfully extract user stories and generate the dependency graph.

How does the generated tasks.md handle parallel execution and extension hooks?▼

The generated tasks.md handles parallel execution by mapping a dependency graph that preserves execution order and identifies parallel opportunities. It also surfaces before_tasks and after_tasks extension hook notices to allow custom workflow integration.

What does the execution report include when generating tasks from a feature plan?▼

The execution report summarizes task generation results by including total task counts, per-story test mappings, and a suggested MVP scope. This provides engineering teams with a clear overview of the implementation requirements extracted from the design artifacts.
