Does this skill support Test Driven Development?

Yes. Every task generated that involves code production includes specific requirements for unit tests, integration tests, and expected assertions to ensure high code quality.

How does it handle task dependencies?

It invokes a dependency-grapher to validate the relationship between tasks, ensuring there are no circular dependencies and identifying the critical path for project completion.

What is the maximum task complexity allowed?

The skill enforces a strict complexity limit of 4 per task. If a task is scored higher, it undergoes up to 5 refinement passes to split it into smaller, more manageable sub-tasks.

What happens if a task cannot be simplified further?

If a task still exceeds a complexity of 4 after 5 iterations, it is flagged with a warning and blocked from automated execution until a developer performs a manual review.

What files are produced during the generation process?

The skill creates a machine-readable state.json for tracking, a human-readable TODOs.md for developers, and updates a central index.json to manage multiple project epics.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms high-level specification documents into granular, dependency-mapped, and complexity-scored task lists for automated execution.

The Task-from-Spec skill is an advanced orchestrator designed to bridge the gap between project requirements and implementation. It utilizes a progressive multi-pass decomposition strategy to break down complex 'spec.md' documents into atomic tasks with a strict complexity ceiling of 4. By automatically coordinating sub-skills for complexity scoring and dependency graphing, it produces a validated roadmap complete with phase organization and built-in TDD requirements. This skill is essential for developers using Claude Code who want to ensure their project execution is structured, verifiable, and logically sequenced.

Key Features
