speckit-tasks

Spec-driven development task generation works by automatically reading design artifacts from your project and creating a dependency-ordered tasks.md file, saving time and reducing manual errors in organizing your development workflow.

The .specify directory in a spec-kit project structure stores design artifacts that serve as the input source for automated task generation. This ensures the resulting tasks.md file accurately reflects your intended development workflow and feature requirements.

Yes, you need a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory containing design artifacts to generate a tasks.md file. Without this structure, the task generation process cannot read the necessary inputs to automate task creation.

You create dependency-ordered tasks from design artifacts by running an automated task generation command within your spec-kit project. This processes the artifacts in the .specify directory and outputs an organized tasks.md file for efficient development.

Yes, you can use automated task generation for development workflows without manual organization. The tool processes your design artifacts directly to produce a clear, dependency-ordered tasks.md file, ensuring an organized development process.

The limitation of spec-kit task generation is that it strictly requires a spec-kit project structure and a .specify directory containing design artifacts. If these prerequisites are missing, the automation cannot generate the tasks.md file.
