FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task list for software development?

You can generate a dependency-ordered task list by parsing project-specific markdown documentation like spec.md and plan.md. This skill maps user stories and data models to implementation phases, outputting a structured tasks.md file that organizes tasks by priority and dependencies.

What is dependency mapping for project implementation roadmaps?

Dependency mapping for implementation roadmaps organizes software development tasks by user story and priority. It ensures foundational work and technical requirements are completed before feature implementation, eliminating planning ambiguity by structuring actionable checklists from design artifacts.

Can I use spec-kit to automate task generation from markdown design artifacts?

Yes, you can use spec-kit to automate task generation from markdown design artifacts. The skill operates within the spec-kit project structure to parse project plans and specifications, transforming them into a clear, actionable checklist that covers all technical requirements.

Do I need a specific project structure to generate dependency-aware tasks?

Yes, you need the spec-kit project structure to generate dependency-aware tasks. The skill requires parsing project-specific markdown documentation within a feature directory and executing setup scripts to validate feature requirements before generating the actionable tasks.md file.

What's the best way to structure a tasks.md file from user stories?

The best way to structure a tasks.md file from user stories is to map interface contracts and data models to specific implementation phases. This approach organizes tasks by user story and priority, ensuring all technical requirements are covered in a logical, dependency-aware sequence.

Why does task generation require executing setup scripts?

Task generation requires executing setup scripts to validate feature requirements within the project structure. This ensures the generated tasks.md file accurately reflects the parsed markdown specifications and data models before mapping them to specific implementation phases.
