SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generating actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md from scattered design artifacts to speed up implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert plan.md, spec.md, and optional data-model.md or contracts/ into a structured task plan.
  • Produce a dependency graph and parallelization hints to guide execution.
  • Use case: a feature with plan.md and spec.md gets a ready-to-run tasks.md for engineering teams.

Quick Start

Provide the feature design artifacts to generate a ready-to-run tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task list from design artifacts?

To generate a dependency-ordered task list, provide feature design artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to produce a structured tasks.md organized into setup, foundational, and user-story phases.

What design artifacts do I need to create a structured task plan?

Creating a structured task plan requires plan.md and spec.md files, while optional inputs include data-model.md, contracts/ directories, and research.md to enrich the generated tasks.md output.

Can I parallelize engineering tasks generated from a specification?

Yes, tasks generated from a specification include parallelization hints and a dependency graph to guide execution, allowing engineering teams to identify and run concurrent work streams.

How does converting spec.md and plan.md into tasks.md speed up implementation?

Converting spec.md and plan.md into tasks.md speeds up implementation by transforming scattered design documents into an actionable, MVP-focused engineering blueprint with strict structural phases.

Does generating tasks from design artifacts work without a data model or contracts?

Generating tasks from design artifacts works without a data model or contracts, as only plan.md and spec.md are required, while data-model.md and contracts/ remain optional inputs.

What is the structure of a tasks.md file generated from feature specifications?

A tasks.md file generated from feature specifications follows a strict structure divided into setup, foundational, and user-story phases, maintaining an MVP-focused scope for the engineering team.
