speckit-tasks

Generate dependency-ordered tasks by processing your spec-kit project's plan.md and spec.md files. The tool creates a tasks.md checklist organized by user-story priority, conditionally incorporating data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md when present.

Sequence user stories by generating a tasks.md file with strict checklist formatting. It organizes tasks by user-story dependencies, applies sequential IDs, optional parallel markers, and ensures independent test criteria per story phase for incremental testing.

Yes, you can use spec-kit artifacts to build an implementation plan. The tool automatically detects and incorporates optional files like data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md alongside required plan.md and spec.md to ensure complete coverage.

The tasks.md checklist handles extension hooks by detecting before_tasks and after_tasks in .specify/extensions.yml. It includes the required hook prompts and output format directly in the dependency-ordered task sequence.

Yes, the generated tasks.md checklist supports parallel task execution. It enforces strict checklist formatting with sequential IDs and optional parallel markers, allowing independent tasks within the same user-story phase to run concurrently.

Implementation tasks lack clear testing criteria when not properly sequenced from design artifacts. Generating a tasks.md enforces independent test criteria per story, sequential IDs, and story-based phases to ensure every task is incrementally testable.
