SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speckit-tasks reduces manual toil by turning design artifacts into a concrete, dependency-aware task plan for implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a tasks.md that follows the plan.md, spec.md, and optional artifacts (data-model.md, contracts/, research.md) to map work to user stories.
  • Build a dependency graph that indicates the required order of completion and parallelizable tasks.
  • Produce a ready-to-run checklist document with per-story phases (setup, foundational, user-story; final polish) and explicit file paths.

Quick Start

Provide your project plan.md and spec.md to generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task list from a spec and plan?

To generate a dependency-ordered task list, provide your project plan.md and spec.md to automatically create a tasks.md that maps implementation work to user stories and builds a dependency graph.

What design artifacts do I need to create a user story task checklist?

You need a plan.md and spec.md to create a user story task checklist, while optional artifacts include data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md for richer dependency mapping and foundational phases.

How does a dependency graph help structure setup and foundational project tasks?

A dependency graph structures setup and foundational project tasks by indicating the required completion order and identifying parallelizable tasks across per-story phases for efficient implementation.

Can I map implementation tasks directly to user stories from markdown design docs?

Yes, you can map implementation tasks directly to user stories from markdown design docs by processing spec.md and plan.md to output a strict checklist with explicit file paths and MVP scope.

What is the best way to organize a ready-to-run checklist for MVP scope development?

The best way to organize a ready-to-run checklist for MVP scope development is to generate a tasks.md that separates work into setup, foundational, user-story, and final polish phases with a summary output.
