SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generating actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md from scattered design artifacts to speed up implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert plan.md, spec.md, and optional data-model.md or contracts/ into a structured task plan.
  • Produce a dependency graph and parallelization hints to guide execution.
  • Use case: a feature with plan.md and spec.md gets a ready-to-run tasks.md for engineering teams.

Quick Start

Provide the feature design artifacts to generate a ready-to-run tasks.md.

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

To generate a dependency-ordered task list, provide feature design artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to produce a structured tasks.md organized into setup, foundational, and user-story phases.

What design artifacts do I need to create a structured task plan?▼

Creating a structured task plan requires plan.md and spec.md files, while optional inputs include data-model.md, contracts/ directories, and research.md to enrich the generated tasks.md output.

Can I parallelize engineering tasks generated from a specification?▼

Yes, tasks generated from a specification include parallelization hints and a dependency graph to guide execution, allowing engineering teams to identify and run concurrent work streams.

How does converting spec.md and plan.md into tasks.md speed up implementation?▼

Converting spec.md and plan.md into tasks.md speeds up implementation by transforming scattered design documents into an actionable, MVP-focused engineering blueprint with strict structural phases.

Does generating tasks from design artifacts work without a data model or contracts?▼

Generating tasks from design artifacts works without a data model or contracts, as only plan.md and spec.md are required, while data-model.md and contracts/ remain optional inputs.

What is the structure of a tasks.md file generated from feature specifications?▼

A tasks.md file generated from feature specifications follows a strict structure divided into setup, foundational, and user-story phases, maintaining an MVP-focused scope for the engineering team.
