SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generating detailed, executable task lists from high-level specs, requirements, or plans to accelerate software delivery and reduce ambiguity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-phase workflow: Generate 5-7 high-level parent tasks and optionally break them into sub-tasks.
  • Automated task artifacts: Create /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md with a structured, ready-to-edit plan.
  • Use Case: From a product spec, produce a task hierarchy that guides implementation across sprints or milestones.

Quick Start

To begin, provide the spec content and request task generation. When prompted, reply with "Go" to generate sub-tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate actionable tasks from a product spec?▼

You can generate tasks from a product spec by providing the requirements document to trigger a two-phase workflow, which first creates 5-7 high-level parent tasks and then optionally expands them into sub-tasks. This process outputs a structured markdown file to accelerate software delivery.

What is the best way to structure project management tasks from markdown requirements?▼

Structuring project management tasks from markdown requirements is best handled by a two-phase workflow that establishes a repeatable hierarchy starting with a 0.0 task and subsequent sub-tasks. It automatically generates a markdown file containing the structured, ready-to-edit plan.

Can I automate task list generation for planning sessions and PRDs?▼

Yes, you can automate task list generation for planning sessions and PRDs by processing the specification content through a structured workflow. This automatically creates a markdown task artifact with a defined hierarchy, reducing manual effort and accelerating software delivery.

Does the generated task list save to a specific file format?▼

Yes, the generated task list saves to a specific markdown file format located at /tasks/tasks-[feature-name].md. This automated artifact provides a structured, ready-to-edit plan that organizes the generated parent and sub-tasks for your software project.

How do I break down high-level specs into sub-tasks for software development?▼

You break down high-level specs into sub-tasks for software development by triggering the second phase of the workflow; after the initial parent tasks are generated, simply reply with "Go" when prompted. This expands the requirements into a detailed, actionable sub-task hierarchy.
