SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage the project backlog, track progress, and organize implementation plans using the .tasks/ directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog management: capture ideas as tasks and move them through speccing, planning, implementing, and reviewing.
  • Plan-driven execution: generate plan.md and changes.md to organize changes and verification.
  • Index synchronization: ensure INDEX.md stays in sync with active tasks and priorities.

Quick Start

Create a new task with /tasks add, then follow the speccing and planning workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize a project backlog with structured task stages?▼

Organize a project backlog by capturing ideas as tasks and moving them through a multi-stage lifecycle: speccing, planning, implementing, reviewing, and complete. This ensures explicit specs, plan-driven execution, and traceable changes.

What is the best way to track implementation plans and changes during code review?▼

Track implementation plans and changes by generating a plan.md for execution sequencing and testing, and a changes.md to capture modifications during the review stage. This maintains consolidated task history and traceable changes.

How does task indexing synchronize with active project priorities?▼

Task indexing synchronizes with active priorities by maintaining an INDEX.md file that tracks active tasks and their current statuses. This ensures the backlog stays aligned with current execution goals.

Do I need specific frontmatter metadata to manage tasks in this workflow?▼

Yes, task management requires frontmatter metadata including id, title, status, and created. This metadata ensures each task is properly tracked throughout the speccing, planning, and implementation workflow.

Can I use plan-driven execution for projects requiring explicit specs and testing?▼

Yes, plan-driven execution is designed for scenarios requiring explicit specs and traceable changes. It uses plan.md for execution sequencing and testing to organize changes and verify implementation.
