SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generating detailed, executable task lists from high-level specs, requirements, or plans to accelerate software delivery and reduce ambiguity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-phase workflow: Generate 5-7 high-level parent tasks and optionally break them into sub-tasks.
  • Automated task artifacts: Create /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md with a structured, ready-to-edit plan.
  • Use Case: From a product spec, produce a task hierarchy that guides implementation across sprints or milestones.

Quick Start

To begin, provide the spec content and request task generation. When prompted, reply with "Go" to generate sub-tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate actionable tasks from a product spec?

You can generate tasks from a product spec by providing the requirements document to trigger a two-phase workflow, which first creates 5-7 high-level parent tasks and then optionally expands them into sub-tasks. This process outputs a structured markdown file to accelerate software delivery.

What is the best way to structure project management tasks from markdown requirements?

Structuring project management tasks from markdown requirements is best handled by a two-phase workflow that establishes a repeatable hierarchy starting with a 0.0 task and subsequent sub-tasks. It automatically generates a markdown file containing the structured, ready-to-edit plan.

Can I automate task list generation for planning sessions and PRDs?

Yes, you can automate task list generation for planning sessions and PRDs by processing the specification content through a structured workflow. This automatically creates a markdown task artifact with a defined hierarchy, reducing manual effort and accelerating software delivery.

Does the generated task list save to a specific file format?

Yes, the generated task list saves to a specific markdown file format located at /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md. This automated artifact provides a structured, ready-to-edit plan that organizes the generated parent and sub-tasks for your software project.

How do I break down high-level specs into sub-tasks for software development?

You break down high-level specs into sub-tasks for software development by triggering the second phase of the workflow; after the initial parent tasks are generated, simply reply with "Go" when prompted. This expands the requirements into a detailed, actionable sub-task hierarchy.
