SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the breakdown of complex implementation plans into a structured, actionable list of tasks, ensuring clarity and efficient project execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Generation: Creates detailed tasks from design documents like plan.md and spec.md.
  • Dependency Mapping: Organizes tasks by user story and identifies dependencies for phased implementation.
  • Use Case: After defining a new feature's requirements in spec.md and its technical approach in plan.md, use this Skill to generate a tasks.md file that outlines every step needed for development, testing, and deployment.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a task list from the project's specification documents.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an actionable task list from a project specification document?

To generate an actionable task list from a project specification, you need design documents like plan.md and spec.md. The system processes these files to organize tasks by user story, map dependencies, and output a phased implementation plan in tasks.md.

What is the best way to map task dependencies for agile software development?

Mapping task dependencies for agile software development is best handled by parsing specification documents. The system identifies relationships between user stories and structures them into a phased implementation plan to ensure correct execution order.

Can I create a phased implementation plan directly from my spec.md and plan.md files?

Yes, you can create a phased implementation plan directly from spec.md and plan.md files. The system reads your technical approach and requirements to automatically generate a structured tasks.md file covering development, testing, and deployment steps.

Does this task generation workflow support extension hooks for automated processes?

Yes, this task generation workflow supports extension hooks for automated processes. It includes pre- and post-task generation hooks, allowing you to integrate custom scripts into the workflow before and after the tasks.md file is created.

When do I need to automate task generation from specification documents?

You need to automate task generation from specification documents when breaking down complex implementation plans into structured, actionable steps. This ensures clarity, maps dependencies efficiently, and accelerates project execution without manual outlining.
