speckit-tasks

To generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md from a spec.md and plan.md, speckit-tasks automatically reads your design artifacts and organizes tasks by phase and user-story priority. It maps each checklist item to its relevant story and outputs parallelization guidance.

The best way to structure an actionable task checklist from design artifacts is to use a spec-kit style structure. This approach converts your plan.md and spec.md into a tasks.md, enforcing a consistent, checklist-based format through templates like tasks-template.md.

Yes, you can automatically map generated tasks to user stories and execution phases. The generation process targets projects with spec-kit style structures, organizing the output checklist items by phase and linking each task directly to its relevant user story.

Task generation for spec-kit projects does produce a dependency graph for parallel execution. Alongside the structured tasks.md, it outputs a visual dependency graph and provides specific parallel execution examples to guide implementation.

Yes, you need a specific template file to enforce a consistent checklist format for your tasks. The generation process integrates directly with .specify/templates/tasks-template.md to ensure all generated implementation tasks follow a uniform checklist structure.
