What is a user-story-centric task list?

It is a breakdown where tasks are organized by specific user stories rather than technical layers, ensuring that each phase of work delivers demonstrable functional progress.

What do the [P] markers in the task list mean?

Markers labeled [P] identify tasks that can be executed in parallel because they have no dependencies and do not conflict with other concurrent tasks.

How does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

The skill follows the 'Test-First Imperative,' which requires generating specific test and verification tasks for every user story before any implementation tasks are created.

Does this skill update my project tracking files?

Yes, it automatically synchronizes with your master-todo.md file, adding subtasks for each user story and linking them to the generated tasks.md file.

What are the prerequisites for generating tasks?

You must have a valid specification (spec.md) and an implementation plan (plan.md) already created, as the skill uses these to ensure full requirement coverage.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms implementation plans into executable, user-story-organized task lists following test-first principles and parallelization patterns.

This skill automates the transition from high-level planning to granular execution by breaking down complex implementation plans into prioritized, actionable tasks. It strictly adheres to user-story-centric organization (Article VII) and the test-first imperative (Article III), ensuring every feature has a clear roadmap from verification to deployment. By automatically marking parallelizable tasks and enforcing quality gates through integrated audit triggers, it streamlines the development workflow while maintaining 100% requirement coverage and structural consistency.

Key Features

01Quality Gate Enforcement: Auto-invokes the /audit command to validate task consistency and coverage.

02Master Todo Sync: Automatically updates project-wide todo lists with granular story subtasks.

030 GitHub stars

04Test-First Tasking: Mandates at least two test tasks per story before implementation begins.

05Parallelization Marking: Automatically identifies and marks tasks that can be executed simultaneously.

06User-Story-Centric Organization: Groups tasks by functional value rather than technical layers.

Use Cases

01Ensuring 100% acceptance criteria coverage before starting code implementation.

02Optimizing development speed by identifying parallel work streams for team execution.

03Converting a feature specification into a granular, executable development roadmap.
