SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts design artifacts into a ready-to-use, dependency-aware tasks document that guides feature implementation across phases and stories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a complete tasks.md organized by phase: Setup, Foundational, User Stories, and Polish.
  • Load design artifacts from plan.md and spec.md, plus optional data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md to map stories to concrete tasks and dependencies.
  • Enforce a strict checklist format and provide a reproducible template-driven workflow for task creation.

Quick Start

Generate a complete tasks.md by analyzing plan.md, spec.md, and optional artifacts, then apply the templates to produce a dependency-ordered, phase-based task list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task plan from feature design artifacts?

A dependency-ordered task plan organizes implementation phases by mapping user stories to concrete tasks based on their dependencies. It transforms design artifacts into a structured tasks.md, ensuring generation adheres to a strict checklist format across Setup, Foundational, User Stories, and Polish phases.

How do I map user stories to concrete tasks using spec.md and plan.md?

You can map user stories to concrete tasks by loading design artifacts from plan.md and spec.md, along with optional data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md. This process applies template-driven workflow to produce a dependency-aware tasks document for feature implementation.

Can I use this task generation workflow without a data-model.md file?

Yes, this workflow functions without a data-model.md file. The task generation strictly requires plan.md and spec.md, while data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md are optional artifacts used to enhance the mapping of stories to precise tasks and dependencies.

How does the .specify/extensions.yml file support task generation hooks?

The .specify/extensions.yml file provides extension hooks that support customizing the task generation workflow. This ensures the generated tasks.md adheres to your project's specific templates, conventions, and strict checklist format requirements.

What is the best way to organize task lists by phase for project management?

The best way to organize task lists by phase is to generate a complete tasks.md structured into Setup, Foundational, User Stories, and Polish phases. This approach uses template-driven workflows to enforce a strict checklist format for reproducible feature implementation.
