FAQPage Schema

How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from design specs?▼

To generate dependency-ordered tasks, the skill reads design documents from specs/{feature}/ and outputs a deterministic tasks.md organized by user story with explicit acceptance criteria and dependency mapping.

What is cross-artifact consistency analysis for user stories?▼

Cross-artifact consistency analysis checks generated user stories and tasks against existing design documents to ensure alignment and integration-ready outputs within your planning workflow.

Can I use this to generate a tasks.md file for an existing feature?▼

Yes, you can generate a tasks.md file for an existing feature by running the skill against the current design artifacts stored in the specs/{feature}/ directory.

Does the generated task plan include acceptance criteria and dependency mapping?▼

Yes, the generated task plan includes explicit acceptance criteria and dependency mapping, producing a deterministic plan ready for import into trackers with legacy artifact support.

What format do my design documents need to be in for task generation?▼

Design documents must be stored as design.md within the specs/{feature}/ directory structure to successfully generate the dependency-ordered tasks.md and perform consistency analysis.

Why are my generated tasks not matching the design specs?▼

If generated tasks do not match design specs, run the cross-artifact consistency analysis to identify misalignments between your user stories and the source design documents in specs/{feature}/.
