SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speckit-tasks helps teams convert design artifacts into a structured, dependency-ordered tasks list that can be executed without ambiguity, reducing handoffs and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-derivation of tasks from plan.md, spec.md, data-models, and contracts to create a phased execution plan.
  • User story-centric generation: organizes work by US1, US2, ... with setup, foundational, and story phases, plus a final polish phase.
  • Validation & formatting: outputs tasks in the strict checklist format ready for execution, with explicit file paths and dependencies.

Quick Start

Provide the project plan.md and spec.md in the repository and run speckit-tasks to generate a complete, ready-to-run tasks.md that encodes the feature's development plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from design artifacts?

To generate dependency-ordered tasks from design artifacts, you provide project plan.md and spec.md files to produce a structured, ready-to-run tasks.md that encodes the feature's development plan.

How does task generation work with a spec-kit project structure?

Task generation with a spec-kit structure auto-derives tasks from plan.md, spec.md, data-models, and contracts, organizing them into setup, foundational, story phases, and a final polish phase.

Can I use user stories to group generated tasks for project management?

Yes, generated tasks are user story-centric, organizing work by US1, US2, and beyond with explicit dependencies to create a clear, phased execution plan.

Do I need a contracts file to generate a tasks.md checklist?

You need project plan.md and spec.md files to generate a tasks.md checklist, while contracts and data-models are also auto-derived to enforce strict formatting and dependency rules.

What is the best way to convert requirements docs into an executable plan?

The best way to convert requirements docs into an executable plan is auto-deriving tasks from spec-kit artifacts, which outputs a strict checklist format with explicit file paths and dependencies.

Why does my generated tasks list include a final polish phase?

A generated tasks list includes a final polish phase to ensure all user story phases, foundational setup, and dependency-ordered executions are validated and formatted into a ready-to-run checklist.
