FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a tasks.md file from design artifacts for feature development?▼

To generate a tasks.md file from design artifacts, use automated task generation scripts that parse existing plan.md and spec.md documents to produce a comprehensive, dependency-ordered task list for feature development.

What is the best way to manage task dependencies and parallel execution for a new feature?▼

Managing task dependencies and parallel execution is handled by generating a clear dependency graph within your tasks file, providing parallel execution examples to organize feature development tasks by user story.

Do I need plan.md and spec.md files to automate feature task generation?▼

Yes, you need plan.md and spec.md design documents to automate feature task generation, as these design artifacts provide the foundational requirements and structure required to generate the tasks.md file.

Can I validate that generated feature tasks are independently testable?▼

Task validation ensures generated feature tasks are complete and independently testable by structuring the tasks.md file with clear dependencies and actionable steps organized by user story.

How does organizing tasks by user story improve feature development workflows?▼

Organizing tasks by user story improves feature development workflows by grouping related implementation steps, clarifying dependencies, and ensuring each generated task is actionable and independently testable.
