SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns scattered design artifacts (plan and user stories) into a clear, dependency-ordered tasks.md that an AI can execute incrementally without guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Actionable tasks output: Generates tasks.md from available documents (plan.md, spec.md, and optional data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, quickstart.md).
  • Dependency-aware ordering: Organizes work by user story priority and produces a completion-order dependency graph.
  • Optional extensibility hooks: Detects and documents before_tasks and after_tasks hooks from .specify/extensions.yml when present.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to generate tasks.md for your feature using the repository’s existing .specify structure and 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 dependency-ordered tasks from user stories and design artifacts?▼

You generate dependency-ordered tasks by converting plan.md and spec.md user stories into an actionable tasks.md file, organizing work by user story priority and producing a completion-order dependency graph for incremental execution.

What is the best way to turn scattered spec-kit design documents into an actionable task list?▼

The best way to turn scattered spec-kit documents into an actionable task list is processing plan.md and spec.md alongside optional data-model.md and contracts to output a tasks.md file with strict checklist formatting and independently testable workflow phases.

Can I use optional design documents like data models and research to enrich task generation?▼

Yes, you can enrich task generation by loading optional data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md files from your FEATURE_DIR to supplement the core plan.md and spec.md user stories.

How does the setup script ensure deterministic task generation?▼

Deterministic task generation is ensured by relying on the .specify/scripts/bash/setup-tasks.sh --json output, which provides a deterministic environment setup that feeds into the strict checklist task format.

Does task generation support extensibility hooks for custom workflows?▼

Yes, task generation supports extensibility hooks by detecting and documenting before_tasks and after_tasks hooks from .specify/extensions.yml when present, emitting hook-aware extension sections without evaluating the underlying hook conditions.
