SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual effort of converting feature specifications, plans, and supporting documents into a clear implementation checklist that teams can execute immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-ordered task generation: Builds a step-by-step tasks.md organized from setup through foundation, user stories, and polish.
  • Spec-driven planning: Uses available artifacts such as plan documents, user stories, data models, contracts, and research notes to shape the task list.
  • Practical use case: A product or engineering team can turn a feature brief into an implementation-ready plan with parallelizable work, story boundaries, and file-path-specific tasks.

Quick Start

Ask this Skill to generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md for your feature from the available specification artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from feature specifications?

This Skill processes spec-kit project artifacts including plans, data models, and contracts to generate an actionable tasks.md. It outputs a dependency-ordered implementation checklist structured by setup, foundation, and per-story phases.

What is the best way to turn user stories into an implementation checklist?

Turning user stories into an implementation checklist is done by applying strict checklist formatting and dependency ordering to your feature specs. This creates file-path-specific tasks with story boundaries and parallelizable work for your engineering team.

Can I use spec-kit plans and data models to create parallelizable development tasks?

Yes, you can use spec-kit plans and data models to create parallelizable development tasks. The Skill analyzes your feature brief and supporting documents to shape a task list with clear story boundaries and extension-hook awareness for immediate execution.

Do I need specific feature design artifacts to generate a dependency-ordered task list?

Yes, generating a dependency-ordered task list requires feature design artifacts from spec-kit projects. It uses available specifications, quickstart notes, and contracts to ensure accurate per-story phases and dependency ordering in the final tasks.md output.

What limitations exist when converting feature specs into an actionable task list?

A key limitation when converting feature specs into an actionable task list is the strict requirement for spec-kit project artifacts. Without proper plans, data models, or contracts, the generated tasks.md cannot accurately format per-story phases or determine dependency ordering.
