You can generate a dependency-ordered task checklist by placing feature design files like plan.md, spec.md, and data-model.md into a directory and running an automated task generator to produce a structured tasks.md file.

Creating a phase-based task plan from a spec.md file involves scanning design artifacts to map user stories into structured execution phases, outputting a ready-to-run checklist with clear file paths and dependencies.

To map user stories to a tasks.md checklist, you scan available design artifacts to enforce a strict checklist format, automatically mapping each story to dependency-ordered execution phases.

Yes, you can automatically generate a foundational setup task list from a data-model.md by scanning it alongside related design artifacts to produce a structured, phase-based task plan ready for independent execution.

No, you do not need to manually order task dependencies if you have plan.md and spec.md files, because the generation process automatically arranges tasks into a strict, dependency-ordered execution sequence.

A limitation when generating a tasks.md file is that the output depends entirely on the available design artifacts, requiring plan.md, spec.md, and data-model.md to be properly formatted to produce a valid dependency-ordered checklist.
