SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns a written implementation plan into executed code by systematically processing every task in tasks.md, so developers do not have to manually track phases, dependencies, and completion status during feature builds. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Plan Execution: Parses tasks.md for phases, dependencies, and parallel markers, then executes tasks in the correct order with TDD awareness. - Checklist Gating: Scans checklists in the feature directory, reports pass/fail status, and asks before proceeding when items are unchecked. - Project Setup Verification: Detects the tech stack and creates or verifies ignore files such as .gitignore, .dockerignore, and .eslintignore. - Extension Hooks: Runs optional and mandatory before/after implementation hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After running /speckit-tasks to generate a task breakdown for a new feature, invoke this skill to implement every task phase-by-phase, marking each completed task as [X] and reporting progress. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the speckit-implement skill to execute all tasks in tasks.md for the current feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a tasks.md implementation plan with spec-kit?▼

Run the speckit-implement skill after generating tasks.md with /speckit-tasks. It parses task phases, dependencies, and parallel markers, then executes each task in order, marking completed tasks as [X] and reporting progress after each one.

What happens if checklists have unchecked items before implementation?▼

The skill scans all checklist files in the feature's checklists directory and builds a status table. If any items are unchecked, it stops and asks whether to proceed; answering yes continues execution, while no halts it.

Does speckit-implement require a specific project structure?▼

Yes, it requires a spec-kit project with a .specify directory containing scripts, plus a feature directory with tasks.md and plan.md. Optional files like data-model.md, contracts, research.md, and quickstart.md are read when present.

How are parallel tasks handled during implementation?▼

Tasks marked with [P] can run together, while sequential tasks run in dependency order. If a non-parallel task fails, execution halts; for parallel tasks, successful ones continue and failures are reported.

What are extension hooks in spec-kit implementation?▼

Hooks are commands registered in .specify/extensions.yml under hooks.before_implement or hooks.after_implement. Mandatory hooks are executed automatically and the skill waits for them, while optional hooks are displayed for manual invocation.
