SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert existing tasks and design artifacts into actionable, dependency-ordered GitHub issues to accelerate feature delivery and maintain alignment across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware issue creation from design artifacts and task lists.
  • Safe, repository-scoped automation with remote URL verification to prevent misdirected changes.
  • Integration with MCP-based GitHub issue writes to automate tracking and triage.

Quick Start

Run the speckit.taskstoissues tool from the repository root to generate issues for the current feature based on available design artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert tasks into GitHub issues ordered by dependencies?

You can convert tasks into dependency-ordered GitHub issues by extracting existing tasks from repository design artifacts and generating prioritized issues via the MCP server. The automation reads available artifacts and writes issues directly to the matching target repository.

Can I generate GitHub issues automatically from design artifacts?

Yes, you can generate GitHub issues automatically from design artifacts by running the conversion tool from the repository root. It reads the available design artifacts for the current feature and creates corresponding issues in the repository.

How does remote URL verification prevent unauthorized GitHub issue creation?

Remote URL verification checks that the target repository's remote URL matches the intended destination before writing any issues. This repository-scoped validation prevents unauthorized actions and blocks misdirected changes if the remote URL is mismatched.

What happens if my repository's remote URL does not match the target repository?

If the remote URL is mismatched, the conversion process rejects the action and stops to prevent misdirected changes. The tool enforces this repository-scoped validation to ensure issues are only created in the correct target repository.

Do I need design artifacts present to convert tasks into GitHub issues?

Yes, design artifacts and tasks must be present before conversion can proceed. The tool validates inputs and guards against unauthorized actions by only continuing when it successfully reads the necessary tasks and artifacts from the repository.

What is the best way to automate dependency-aware issue creation for a feature?

The best way to automate dependency-aware issue creation is to run the conversion tool from the repository root. It extracts tasks from existing artifacts, orders them by dependencies, and uses the MCP-based GitHub integration to write the prioritized issues automatically.
