SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill translates design artifacts (plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md when present) into a ready-to-implement tasks.md organized by phases and user stories, reducing ambiguity and handoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generate a dependency-aware task plan from design artifacts (plan.md, spec.md) with Phase 1 Setup, Phase 2 Foundational, Phase 3+ User Story phases, and a Final Polish phase.
Produce per-story tasks with clear file paths, dependencies, and optional tests when requested.
Provide an MVP scope summary and guidance on parallelizable tasks for delivery acceleration.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks generator at the repository root to produce a ready-to-run tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a tasks.md file from spec-kit design artifacts?▼

To generate a tasks.md file from spec-kit design artifacts, run the task generator at your repository root. It translates plan.md and spec.md into a dependency-ordered checklist organized by user stories, setup, foundational, and polish phases.

What is the best way to turn a project plan and spec into executable tasks?▼

Turning a project plan and spec into executable tasks requires mapping design artifacts to a dependency-aware checklist. This process outputs structured task phases with clear file paths, dependencies, and optional tests to reduce ambiguity and implementation handoffs.

Does spec-kit task generation support parallelizable tasks for delivery acceleration?▼

Spec-kit task generation supports parallelizable tasks for delivery acceleration by analyzing dependencies within your design artifacts. It provides an MVP scope summary and highlights tasks that can be executed concurrently across user story phases.

Can I generate task plans from a data model and spec without manual dependency mapping?▼

You can generate task plans from plan.md, spec.md, and data-model.md without manual dependency mapping. The generator automatically orders tasks based on dependencies across foundational phases and individual user stories.

What structure does a generated spec-kit task checklist follow?▼

A generated spec-kit task checklist follows a strict phase-based structure: Phase 1 Setup, Phase 2 Foundational, Phase 3+ User Stories, and a Final Polish phase. Each per-story task includes clear file paths and dependency references.
