SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams translate high-level implementation plans into concrete, executable task lists, ensuring clear handoffs from planning to development.

Core Features & Use Cases

Deterministic task generation from plan.md and spec.md, producing a single tasks.md with ordered, dependency-aware tasks.
Supports mapping work to user stories (US1, US2, etc.), and outlines a dependency graph for optimal sequencing.
Outputs precise file paths and a structured phase breakdown (setup, foundational, per-story phases, polish).

Quick Start

Run the Kiln task generator at the project root to create tasks.md from plan.md and spec.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert a project plan into actionable tasks with dependencies?▼

To convert a project plan into actionable tasks, you provide plan.md and spec.md documents to generate a structured tasks.md file containing ordered, dependency-aware task lists mapped to user stories.

What is phase-based task breakdown for software projects?▼

Phase-based task breakdown is structuring development work into setup, foundational, per-story, and polish phases, ensuring clear sequencing and handoffs from planning to execution.

How do I map user stories to a dependency graph for development?▼

Mapping user stories to a dependency graph involves translating spec.md requirements into US1, US2 formats, then sequencing them with precise file paths for optimal execution order.

Do I need data models or contracts to generate a task list from plan.md?▼

You do not strictly need data models or contracts to generate a task list, as the process relies primarily on plan.md and spec.md, though optional data-model documents enhance accuracy.

Can I automate task generation for planning-heavy software projects?▼

You can automate task generation for planning-heavy software projects by processing plan.md and spec.md to deterministically output a checklist-form tasks.md with execution-ready file paths.
