SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of a comprehensive tasks.md file for software projects, streamlining the organization and prioritization of tasks based on design artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Generation: Automatically generates an actionable tasks.md file for software features.
  • Dependency-Ordered: Ensures tasks are organized in a logical, dependency-ordered manner.
  • Spec-Kit Compatible: Requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory for compatibility.
  • Customizable: Allows for optional task generation constraints to tailor the output.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks skill with the 'generate' command in your spec-kit project directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task generation for software development projects?

To automate task generation, run the speckit-tasks generate command within your project directory to produce a dependency-ordered tasks.md file. It reads design artifacts and outlines feature development phases including setup, foundational tasks, and user stories.

What is a dependency-ordered task list and how does it organize feature development?

A dependency-ordered task list structures software development phases sequentially based on design artifact requirements. It organizes setup, foundational tasks, and user story-based phases to ensure logical execution and prevent blocking dependencies during feature development.

Do I need a spec-kit project structure to generate a tasks.md file?

Yes, a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory is required to generate a tasks.md file. The skill relies on this specific environment to read compatible design artifacts and output the structured task outline.

Can I customize task generation constraints for specific software features?

Yes, you can apply optional task generation constraints to customize the tasks.md output for specific software features. This refines the dependency-ordered task list by adjusting the generated setup, foundational, and user story phases.

What are the limitations of using spec-kit for task automation?

The limitation of spec-kit task automation is its strict dependency on a .specify directory and compatible project structure. Without this specific environment, the skill cannot read design artifacts to generate the dependency-ordered task list.
