SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert an existing set of tasks into GitHub issues that are ready to be executed in the correct dependency order, grounded in the design artifacts available in a repo.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-execution customization via extension hooks: Runs optional and mandatory pre-hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml (when enabled) before generating the issues.
  • Prerequisite validation for available task and docs data: Executes a repo script to determine the feature directory and the available documentation set, including tasks, before creating issues.
  • Safe GitHub-only issue creation guardrail: Verifies the repo remote is a GitHub URL and creates issues through the GitHub MCP server only for that target repository.

Quick Start

Use speckit-taskstoissues to create dependency-ordered GitHub issues from the current repo tasks and feature artifacts in the project’s .specify structure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert spec-kit tasks into GitHub issues with dependency ordering?

This Skill converts spec-kit tasks into GitHub issues by reading task definitions from the .specify directory, validating repository prerequisites, and creating dependency-ordered issues via the GitHub MCP server.

What does the check-prerequisites script do for task to issues conversion?

The check-prerequisites PowerShell script validates your spec-kit repository environment by determining the feature directory and identifying available documentation sets, including tasks, before any GitHub issues are created.

Can I use this to create GitHub issues from tasks in non-GitHub repositories?

No, you cannot create issues for non-GitHub repositories. The Skill includes a safe guardrail that verifies your git origin remote is explicitly a GitHub URL before allowing the GitHub MCP server to create issues.

How do extension hooks customize GitHub issue generation from tasks?

Extension hooks customize task to issue generation by running optional and mandatory pre-hooks defined in your .specify/extensions.yml file, allowing you to execute custom logic before the GitHub issues are actually created.

Where does spec-kit store task definitions for dependency-ordered issue creation?

Spec-kit stores task definitions under the .specify directory in your repository. The Skill reads these available design artifacts to ground the creation of actionable, dependency-ordered GitHub issues.
