FAQPage Schema
How do I break down software design specs into actionable implementation tasks?▼

Breaking down software design specs requires loading change context from memory and analyzing design artifacts. This produces a phase-structured tasks.md containing concrete, actionable implementation items with enforced dependency order and verification checks.

What is the best way to generate a phase-structured task checklist for change management?▼

Generating a phase-structured task checklist for change management involves stepwise processing of design artifacts. The system loads change context, analyzes proposals, and outputs a tasks.md file enforcing dependency order and verification checks for engineering tasks.

Can I persist generated engineering tasks to Engram or the filesystem depending on my mode?▼

Yes, you can persist generated engineering tasks to Engram or the filesystem. The persistence target depends on the active mode, ensuring the phase-based tasks are stored according to your specific OpenCode-like change workflow and orchestrator requirements.

Do I need an orchestrator to use phase-based task breakdown for OpenCode-like workflows?▼

Yes, an orchestrator is required for phase-based task breakdown in OpenCode-like workflows. The system applies to environments where an orchestrator requires a phase-structured tasks plan and alignment with Engram or Openspec modes to manage engineering tasks.

How does task breakdown handle dependency order and verification checks?▼

Task breakdown handles dependency order and verification checks by enforcing stepwise generation. It analyzes design artifacts to produce a structured tasks.md where phase-based items are ordered sequentially to ensure proper implementation flow and validation.

What limitations exist when generating a tasks.md from proposals and specs?▼

A limitation when generating a tasks.md is that the system requires existing change context loaded from memory and design artifacts. Without prior proposals, specs, or designs, it cannot produce phase-based implementation tasks or enforce dependency order.
