Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task generation for feature development from design artifacts?

You can automate task generation by running this Skill within a spec-kit project structure. It reads existing design artifacts from the .specify/ directory and outputs an ordered tasks.md file to guide your feature development workflow.

How do I ensure correct dependency ordering when creating a task list for a new feature?

To ensure correct dependency ordering in your task list, this Skill analyzes your spec-kit design artifacts and automatically sequences the generated tasks. This prevents manual ordering errors and guarantees that prerequisite steps are completed before dependent ones.

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

Yes, you need an existing spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory to generate a tasks.md file. The Skill relies on these specific design artifacts to parse project requirements and automate the task creation process accurately.

What is the best way to create an actionable task list from a spec-kit project?

The best way to create an actionable task list from a spec-kit project is to use a dedicated automation script. This Skill extracts requirements from your design artifacts and outputs a structured tasks.md file with dependencies resolved.

Can I use this task generation script without an existing .specify/ directory?

No, you cannot use this task generation script without a .specify/ directory. The Skill explicitly requires this folder structure within a spec-kit project to locate the design artifacts needed for automating task creation and dependency ordering.
