SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Break down high-level implementation plans into structured, executable task lists that can be tracked and delivered.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phased task generation: organizes work by setup, foundational tasks, and user-story phases with explicit dependencies.
  • User story mapping: maps components to specific user stories, ensuring traceability from plan to code.
  • Enforced task format: produces tasks in a strict checklist format with file paths and IDs for automation-ready pipelines.
  • Extension hooks support: detects and reports actionable extension hooks before and after task generation, if configured.

Quick Start

Provide your project plan or spec input via ARGUMENTS to generate a ready-to-run tasks.md with phased story-based tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a high-level implementation plan into executable tasks?

To convert an implementation plan into executable tasks, you provide the spec as input to generate a tasks.md file. This file contains phased tasks, user stories, explicit dependencies, and file paths ready for delivery tracking.

What is dependency-aware task generation for sprint planning?

Dependency-aware task generation organizes project work into setup, foundational, and user-story phases while mapping explicit dependencies between them. This ensures traceability from architecture plans to executable checklists for sprint planning.

Can I generate a tasks.md checklist with user stories from a project specification?

Yes, you can generate a tasks.md checklist from a project specification by passing it as input. The output maps components to specific user stories and enforces a strict checklist format with task IDs for automation-ready pipelines.

Does this approach support extension hooks before and after task generation?

Yes, the task generation process detects and reports actionable extension hooks before and after execution if they are configured. This allows you to integrate custom automation into your project-management workflow.

What is the best way to structure architecture review outputs for automation?

The best way to structure architecture review outputs for automation is to enforce a strict checklist format with clear file paths and task IDs. This produces an automation-ready tasks.md file with dependency-aware phases.
