SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates an automated, dependency-ordered tasks.md for a feature from available design artifacts, enabling teams to execute plans consistently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build tasks.md from plan.md, spec.md, and optional documents such as data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md to map design artifacts to executable tasks and establish dependencies.
  • Create a dependency graph and phased task structure (Setup, Foundational, US1, US2, ..., Polish) to guide parallelization and sequencing.
  • Ensure tasks follow the strict checklist format, include file paths, and support optional test task generation when requested.

Quick Start

Provide the feature design artifacts (plan.md, spec.md, and optional data-model.md, contracts/, research.md) and Speckit will generate the complete tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a task plan from design artifacts like spec.md and plan.md?

To generate a task plan from design artifacts, provide your feature's plan.md, spec.md, and optional documents like data-model.md. The tool processes these inputs to automatically produce a dependency-ordered tasks.md file with phased execution steps.

What is the best way to create a dependency graph for feature development tasks?

Creating a dependency graph for feature tasks involves analyzing design artifacts to map relationships. The generated tasks.md organizes work into phases like Setup, Foundational, and Polish, establishing clear dependencies to guide parallelization and sequencing.

Can I include test task generation when building a checklist from a specification?

Yes, you can include test task generation when building a checklist from a specification. When requested, the generated tasks.md integrates optional test tasks alongside the mandatory checklist formatting and required file paths.

Do I need a data-model.md file to generate a phased task list?

You do not need a data-model.md file to generate a phased task list. A plan.md and spec.md are sufficient, but providing optional documents like data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md improves dependency mapping and task derivation.

What format do generated project management tasks follow?

Generated project management tasks follow a strict checklist format. Each task in the tasks.md output includes specific file paths and is organized across dependency-ordered phases to ensure consistent execution.

How does automated task generation handle feature sequencing and parallelization?

Automated task generation handles feature sequencing by deriving a dependency graph from your design artifacts. It structures tasks into sequential phases from Setup to Polish, enabling teams to identify parallelizable work streams.
