SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate detailed, step-by-step task lists from specs, plans, or requirements, turning high-level ideas into concrete, trackable work items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase 1: Generate 5-7 high-level parent tasks and save them to /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md.
  • Phase 2: Break down each parent task into actionable sub-tasks and identify relevant files, updating the task file with a complete plan.
  • Use cases include turning product specs or PRDs into executable development plans for engineering, QA, and design.

Quick Start

Provide a feature spec and I will generate a /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md file with 5-7 high-level parent tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn product specs into actionable development tasks?

To turn product specs into actionable development tasks, provide your feature requirements or PRD to generate a structured task file. The output creates 5-7 high-level parent tasks and corresponding sub-tasks saved directly into a markdown file for immediate project execution.

What is the best way to break down a PRD into trackable work items?

Breaking down a PRD into trackable work items involves processing your requirements in two phases. It first generates 5-7 parent tasks, then expands each into detailed sub-tasks while identifying relevant files, updating your task plan with comprehensive trackable items.

Can I generate task lists for both software features and broader project plans?

Yes, you can generate task lists for both software features and broader project plans. The task generation process applies to plans, specs, PRDs, and requirements across any software project, producing structured markdown files for engineering, QA, and design use cases.

Do I need any specific project management tools to generate these task plans?

No specific project management tools are required to generate these task plans. The task generator operates independently to parse your specs and output a structured markdown file, requiring no external dependencies or component integrations to create your actionable development plan.

How does task generation handle file structure for new software features?

Task generation handles file structure by creating a dedicated markdown file named tasks-[feature-name].md within a tasks directory. This file systematically organizes your 5-7 parent tasks and their corresponding sub-tasks, ensuring your development plan is directly accessible and trackable.
