SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for the feature based on available design artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a structured tasks.md using .specify/templates/tasks-template.md as the blueprint.
  • Map tasks to user stories from plan.md and spec.md, with phases: setup, foundational, per-story, and polish.
  • Validate and report on task completeness, dependencies, and MVP scope.

Quick Start

Provide the project design artifacts plan.md, spec.md (and optional data-model.md if available) to generate a ready-to-run tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate dependency-ordered tasks from design artifacts?▼

Generating dependency-ordered tasks requires providing design artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to produce an executable tasks.md file structured by phases and user stories.

What is the best way to structure a feature task plan for MVP development?▼

Structuring a feature task plan involves mapping user stories from spec.md into phases: setup, foundational, per-story, and polish, validating dependencies and MVP scope using a tasks-template.md blueprint.

Do I need a .specify directory to generate a tasks.md file?▼

Yes, generating a tasks.md relies on a .specify directory containing the tasks-template.md blueprint, and examines project root directories including optional docs, contracts, and research folders.

Can I include data models when generating actionable software engineering tasks?▼

Yes, including an optional data-model.md alongside plan.md and spec.md allows the task generation process to populate a more comprehensive task plan with mapped dependencies.

How does task generation validate completeness and dependencies for user stories?▼

Task generation validates completeness by mapping tasks directly to user stories from plan.md and spec.md, reporting on dependencies, and ensuring the MVP scope is accurately reflected in the output.
