SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Manually organizing project tasks from various design artifacts is a time-consuming process. This skill automates the creation of a structured and dependency-ordered tasks.md for features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Generation: Generate actionable task lists for software development projects based on available design artifacts.
  • Dependency Ordering: Ensures tasks are organized by dependency and user story priority.
  • Feature Initialization: Compatible with spec-kit projects to maintain structured work unit management.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-tasks skill with your feature branch, specifying the feature name and tasks path: /speckit.ralph.run --feature-name "001-my-feature" --tasks-path "specs/001-my-feature/tasks.md"

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md for a spec-kit project?

You generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md by running the skill with your feature branch and specifying the feature name and tasks path. It extracts data from design documents to structure ordered tasks for software implementation.

What is automated task generation from design artifacts?

Automated task generation is the process of extracting data from existing design documents and project configurations to create structured, actionable task lists without manual organization, saving time on project setup.

Does speckit-tasks require an existing structured project directory?

Yes, speckit-tasks requires an existing spec-kit structured project directory. It relies on available design artifacts and project configurations within that directory to automatically generate the task lists.

Can I organize project tasks by user story priority automatically?

Yes, you can organize project tasks by user story priority automatically. The skill ensures generated tasks are ordered by both dependencies and user story priority to guide software implementation effectively.

What are the limitations of generating task lists from spec files?

The limitation of generating task lists from spec files is that the output quality depends entirely on the available design documents. It cannot create tasks if the underlying spec-kit project configurations are missing or incomplete.
