speckit-tasks

Generate dependency-ordered build tasks from spec files by processing your speckit design artifacts, including plan.md and spec.md, to produce a structured tasks.md with sequential checklist IDs and per-story organization based on a completion-order dependency graph.

To create a complete tasks.md checklist, you need plan.md and spec.md files at minimum. You can also include data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md artifacts to ensure generated tasks cover end-to-end user story requirements.

Dependency-aware task generation analyzes your design artifacts to build a completion-order dependency graph, which organizes sequential checklist tasks by user story phases and identifies opportunities for parallel task execution.

Yes, you can add custom pre and post extension hooks to generated task checklists. The task generation process provides optional extension hook support and validates that every generated task conforms to the strict checklist format.

Speckit task generation works without data-model or contracts files by relying on the required plan.md and spec.md artifacts. Optional files like data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md are incorporated only when present to enrich task coverage.

Generated tasks might fail to conform if input design artifacts are missing or malformed. The generation requires strict checklist task formatting with sequential IDs, per-story organization, and absolute-path file referencing, and it validates every task against these rules.
