speckit-tasks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
