What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of a structured tasks.md file for spec-kit projects, streamlining the process of defining and organizing tasks based on design artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Generation: Automatically generates an actionable tasks.md file with dependency ordering based on design artifacts.
  • Compatibility: Requires spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory.
  • Use Case: Ideal for developers and project managers who need to efficiently document and manage tasks in their spec-kit projects.

Quick Start

Generate tasks.md for your feature by running the speckit-tasks command with the optional constraints as arguments.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate a tasks file from design documents?▼

To automatically generate a tasks file from design documents, this Skill analyzes your spec-kit artifacts and produces a structured tasks.md with user stories, tasks, and dependency ordering.

What is the best way to organize user stories and dependencies for spec-kit projects?▼

Organizing user stories and dependencies for spec-kit projects is best handled by generating a structured tasks.md file that automatically sequences actionable tasks based on your design artifacts.

Do I need a specific directory structure to generate a tasks.md file?▼

Yes, generating a tasks.md file requires an existing spec-kit project structure containing a .specify/ directory to store and read the necessary design artifacts.

Can I use Python scripts to automate task generation for project management?▼

Yes, you can use Python scripts to automate task generation for project management, as this Skill utilizes Python-based analysis to parse design documents and create dependency-ordered tasks.

How does automated task generation handle dependency ordering?▼

Automated task generation handles dependency ordering by analyzing your design documents within the .specify/ directory and mapping relationships to output a sequentially structured tasks.md file.

Why does task generation fail without a .specify/ directory?▼

Task generation fails without a .specify/ directory because the Python scripts require this specific spec-kit project structure to locate and read the necessary design artifacts for analysis.
