SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a written implementation plan into working code requires manually tracking dozens of tasks, dependencies, and validation steps, which is error-prone and hard to audit. This Skill automates that execution phase of a spec-driven development workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Plan Execution: Parses tasks.md to extract phases, dependencies, and parallel markers, then executes tasks in the correct order following a TDD approach. - Checklist Gating: Scans checklist files before implementation and stops to ask for confirmation when unchecked items remain. - Project Setup Verification: Detects the project's tech stack and creates or verifies ignore files such as .gitignore, .dockerignore, and .eslintignore. - Extension Hooks: Runs mandatory and optional pre- and post-implementation hooks declared in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After generating a specification, plan, and task breakdown with spec-kit, run this Skill to implement the entire feature, marking each completed task as [X] in tasks.md and reporting progress per phase. ## 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 automatically?▼

Run the speckit-implement skill from the repository root of a spec-kit project. It parses tasks.md for phases, dependencies, and parallel markers, then executes tasks in order, marking each completed task as [X] and reporting progress after every task.

What is required before running spec-kit implementation?▼

The project must contain a .specify directory with a complete tasks.md, plus plan.md for tech stack and architecture. Optional files like data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md are loaded when present to provide additional context.

Does speckit-implement work without a tasks.md file?▼

No, tasks.md is required because it defines the complete task list and execution plan. If tasks are missing or incomplete, the skill suggests running /speckit-tasks first to regenerate the task breakdown before implementation.

What happens when checklists have unchecked items before implementation?▼

The skill scans all checklist files, displays a status table with checked and unchecked counts, and stops to ask whether to proceed. Implementation only continues after explicit user confirmation; otherwise execution halts.

How are extension hooks handled during implementation?▼

The skill reads .specify/extensions.yml for hooks under before_implement and after_implement keys. Mandatory hooks are executed automatically and the skill waits for their result, while optional hooks are displayed with their command for manual invocation.
