SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a feature specification and implementation plan into an actionable, ordered task list is tedious and error-prone. This Skill automates the creation of a tasks.md file that organizes work by user story with clear dependencies and parallelization opportunities. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design-Artifact-Driven Generation: Reads plan.md, spec.md, data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md from a spec-kit project to build tasks grounded in actual design decisions. - User-Story-Organized Phases: Produces Setup, Foundational, per-user-story, and Polish phases, each independently testable, with strict checklist formatting (checkbox, task ID, [P] parallel markers, [US#] story labels, file paths). - Extension Hook Support: Checks .specify/extensions.yml for before_tasks and after_tasks hooks and executes or surfaces them appropriately. - Use Case: After writing a feature spec and implementation plan with spec-kit, invoke this Skill to produce a tasks.md where each task is specific enough for an LLM or developer to execute without additional context, including a suggested MVP scope. ## Quick Start Run the speckit-tasks skill to generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md for the current feature from the available spec-kit design documents.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-tasks

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a tasks.md file from a feature specification?▼

Run this Skill inside a spec-kit project after creating spec.md and plan.md. It reads the design artifacts from the feature directory and writes a tasks.md organized by user story with sequential task IDs, file paths, and dependency ordering.

What is the task checklist format in spec-kit tasks.md?▼

Every task follows the format '- [ ] [TaskID] [P?] [Story?] Description with file path'. The checkbox and sequential ID like T001 are required, [P] marks parallelizable tasks, and [US1]-style story labels are required only for user story phase tasks.

Does speckit-tasks require all design documents to exist?▼

No. Only plan.md and spec.md are required. Data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md are optional, and tasks are generated based on whichever documents are available in the feature directory.

Are test tasks always generated in tasks.md?▼

No. Test tasks are optional and only generated when explicitly requested in the feature specification or when the user asks for a TDD approach. Otherwise phases contain only implementation tasks.

What are spec-kit extension hooks in task generation?▼

Hooks are commands defined in .specify/extensions.yml under hooks.before_tasks or hooks.after_tasks. Mandatory hooks execute automatically before or after generation, while optional hooks are surfaced as suggestions for the user to run.
