SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Speckit-tasks reduces manual toil by turning design artifacts into a concrete, dependency-aware task plan for implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a tasks.md that follows the plan.md, spec.md, and optional artifacts (data-model.md, contracts/, research.md) to map work to user stories.
  • Build a dependency graph that indicates the required order of completion and parallelizable tasks.
  • Produce a ready-to-run checklist document with per-story phases (setup, foundational, user-story; final polish) and explicit file paths.

Quick Start

Provide your project plan.md and spec.md to generate a dependency-ordered tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency-ordered task list from a spec and plan?▼

To generate a dependency-ordered task list, provide your project plan.md and spec.md to automatically create a tasks.md that maps implementation work to user stories and builds a dependency graph.

What design artifacts do I need to create a user story task checklist?▼

You need a plan.md and spec.md to create a user story task checklist, while optional artifacts include data-model.md, contracts/, and research.md for richer dependency mapping and foundational phases.

How does a dependency graph help structure setup and foundational project tasks?▼

A dependency graph structures setup and foundational project tasks by indicating the required completion order and identifying parallelizable tasks across per-story phases for efficient implementation.

Can I map implementation tasks directly to user stories from markdown design docs?▼

Yes, you can map implementation tasks directly to user stories from markdown design docs by processing spec.md and plan.md to output a strict checklist with explicit file paths and MVP scope.

What is the best way to organize a ready-to-run checklist for MVP scope development?▼

The best way to organize a ready-to-run checklist for MVP scope development is to generate a tasks.md that separates work into setup, foundational, user-story, and final polish phases with a summary output.
