speckit-tasks

To generate an implementation plan from user stories, you need a .specify project structure containing plan and spec documents. The system processes these Spec Kit artifacts to produce a dependency-ordered tasks.md checklist with clear file paths for execution.

The best way to sequence tasks is by applying dependency ordering to your implementation breakdown. It organizes work into setup phases, foundational steps, and user stories, ensuring development teams execute the actionable checklist in the correct sequence.

Yes, you need a .specify project structure with plan and spec documents to create an actionable task list. Optional design, data model, contracts, and research documents enhance the generated tasks.md file with more comprehensive implementation guidance.

Yes, this is designed for parallelizable execution guidance in software planning workflows. It generates an actionable checklist from project artifacts and user story specifications, organizing work so teams can identify and execute parallel tasks efficiently.

A key limitation is the strict requirement for a .specify project structure; without existing plan and spec documents, task generation cannot proceed. Additionally, the output is limited to checklist-form tasks with file paths rather than executable code.
