SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert scattered design artifacts and existing tasks into a dependency-aware set of GitHub issues that guide feature implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware issue generation: maps tasks to GitHub issues with explicit ordering constraints.
  • Artifact-driven scoping: uses available design artifacts to populate issue content and references.
  • Automation-ready workflow: fits a spec-kit style project structure to streamline issue tracking.

Quick Start

Feed your design artifacts into the speckit-taskstoissues workflow to automatically generate and order GitHub issues by dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert design artifacts into GitHub issues ordered by dependency?

You can convert design artifacts into GitHub issues ordered by dependency by parsing existing task lists, identifying task dependencies, and creating ordered issues in the correct repository while respecting remote origin constraints.

What is dependency-aware issue generation from task lists?

Dependency-aware issue generation maps scattered tasks to GitHub issues with explicit ordering constraints, using available design artifacts to populate issue content and references for structured feature implementation.

Do I need a spec-kit structure to automate GitHub issue creation from tasks?

Yes, a spec-kit style project structure is required to automate GitHub issue creation. The workflow relies on existing design artifacts within this structure to derive issues and populate their content accurately.

Can I use design artifacts to populate GitHub issue content automatically?

Yes, you can use design artifacts to populate GitHub issue content automatically. The workflow uses artifact-driven scoping to fill issue descriptions with references extracted from your available design documents.

What's the best way to manage task dependencies when creating GitHub issues?

The best way to manage task dependencies when creating GitHub issues is using an automation-ready workflow that parses task lists and generates issues with explicit dependency ordering, ensuring implementation follows correct sequential constraints.
