SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of project planning by automatically generating a structured, dependency-aware task list from high-level design documents, ensuring that development follows a logical and testable sequence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Mapping: Automatically parses project specifications and plans to identify the correct order of implementation.
  • Standardized Task Format: Enforces a strict checklist format with IDs, story labels, and file paths for immediate execution.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this skill to transform your spec.md and plan.md into a ready-to-use tasks.md file that guides the development process phase by phase.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-tasks skill to generate a tasks.md file based on the current project documentation in the root directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task list from project design documents?▼

Use the skill to parse spec.md and plan.md files, map user stories to specific implementation tasks, and output a ready-to-use tasks.md file with dependency-aware ordering.

What is the best way to map user stories to specific implementation tasks and test criteria?▼

Parse spec-kit compliant feature directories to map user stories into a standardized checklist format with IDs, story labels, and file paths for immediate execution and test criteria.

Do I need a spec-kit compliant project structure to generate a tasks.md file?▼

Yes, a project structure compliant with the spec-kit standard is required to parse feature directories and templates and map dependencies into a structured tasks.md file.

Can I automate project planning by converting spec.md and plan.md files into development phases?▼

Yes, by parsing spec.md and plan.md files you can automate project planning to output a tasks.md file that guides software development phase by phase with dependency-aware ordering.

Why does automated task generation require standardized templates for software development workflows?▼

Standardized templates are required because automated task generation parses project specifications and plans to identify implementation order, mapping dependencies and file paths accurately into a strict checklist format.
