SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates creation of an executable tasks.md that is dependency-ordered and aligned to existing design artifacts so teams can implement features reliably without manual task decomposition.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-agent task generation: Splits FE and BE responsibilities, runs parallel subagents, and merges results into a single tasks.md.
  • Spec-kit integration & hooks: Reads plan.md, spec.md, data-models, contracts and honors pre/post extension hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml.
  • Checklist format enforcement: Produces checklist-formatted tasks with Task IDs, [US] story labels, file paths, and validation rules to ensure tasks are immediately executable by LLMs or implementers.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md for a feature using the .specify/ design documents in your repository.

FAQPage Schema
What is multi-agent task generation and how does it handle frontend and backend responsibilities?

Multi-agent task generation automates executable task creation by splitting frontend and backend responsibilities into parallel subagents. It then merges these results into a single dependency-ordered tasks.md file.

Can I generate checklist-format tasks with validation rules from spec-kit artifacts?

Automating checklist-format task creation involves parsing spec-kit design artifacts to produce tasks.md. This file contains Task IDs, user story labels, file paths, and validation rules to ensure tasks are immediately executable by LLMs.

Does spec-kit task generation support custom pre and post extension hooks?

Spec-kit task generation supports custom pre and post extension hooks defined within your .specify/extensions.yml file. The Skill honors these hooks during the task generation process to integrate with your workflow.

Do I need a .specify directory to generate feature planning task lists?

You need a .specify directory containing your plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, and contracts to use this Skill. It relies on this spec-kit structure to parse design artifacts and generate the feature planning task lists.
