SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for the feature based on available design artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a structured tasks.md using .specify/templates/tasks-template.md as the blueprint.
  • Map tasks to user stories from plan.md and spec.md, with phases: setup, foundational, per-story, and polish.
  • Validate and report on task completeness, dependencies, and MVP scope.

Quick Start

Provide the project design artifacts plan.md, spec.md (and optional data-model.md if available) to generate a ready-to-run tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from design artifacts?

Generating dependency-ordered tasks requires providing design artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to produce an executable tasks.md file structured by phases and user stories.

What is the best way to structure a feature task plan for MVP development?

Structuring a feature task plan involves mapping user stories from spec.md into phases: setup, foundational, per-story, and polish, validating dependencies and MVP scope using a tasks-template.md blueprint.

Do I need a .specify directory to generate a tasks.md file?

Yes, generating a tasks.md relies on a .specify directory containing the tasks-template.md blueprint, and examines project root directories including optional docs, contracts, and research folders.

Can I include data models when generating actionable software engineering tasks?

Yes, including an optional data-model.md alongside plan.md and spec.md allows the task generation process to populate a more comprehensive task plan with mapped dependencies.

How does task generation validate completeness and dependencies for user stories?

Task generation validates completeness by mapping tasks directly to user stories from plan.md and spec.md, reporting on dependencies, and ensuring the MVP scope is accurately reflected in the output.
