What problem does it solve?

Decomposes high-level plans into actionable, developer-ready task lists organized by phase and priority.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts strategy into delivery work items with consistent task format.
  • Supports phase-based work item mapping, dependency tracking, and standardized FR/TR tagging.
  • Example: Given a plan, generate a sequence of T001... tasks across phases ready for execution.

Quick Start

Create tasks from plan.md by running the task-generation workflow against your project plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a strategic project plan into developer-ready work items?

Break down a strategic plan into developer-ready work items by parsing plan.md to generate phased task lists with sequential IDs and FR/TR tags. This organizes high-level strategy into actionable, prioritized tasks across delivery phases.

What is phase-based work item mapping for project management?

Phase-based work item mapping organizes delivery tasks into sequential execution phases with dependency tracking. It converts strategy documents into parallelizable work items using standardized FR-### and TR-### tags for requirements traceability.

Can I generate task lists from existing contracts and plan documents?

Yes, you can generate task lists by parsing plan.md and contracts directories. The workflow extracts requirements and delivery phases to produce executable task sequences with consistent formatting and dependency tracking.

What's the best way to track requirements across delivery phases?

Track requirements across delivery phases by applying standardized FR-### and TR-### style tags to generated work items. This maintains traceability from strategic plans through phased execution while mapping dependencies between parallelizable tasks.

Do I need a specific project management template to generate phased task lists?

No specific template is required, but your project must contain a plan.md file and optionally a contracts directory. The workflow parses these inputs to automatically generate sequential T001 task IDs organized by delivery phase.

Why use automated task generation instead of manual work item decomposition?

Automated task generation ensures consistent task formatting, accurate dependency tracking, and standardized FR/TR tagging across phases. It eliminates manual decomposition errors while producing parallelizable, developer-ready work items directly from strategic plans.
